Blossom Toes - We Are Ever So Clean (1967)

por Gilberto Custódio

No arquivo tem os dois discos que a Sunbeam acabou de relançar do

Blosson Toes. O 1o é muito bom, dessa leva que estou enviando de

Pop-Sike, é a melhor coisa. A 2a música é excelente - como várias

outras.

"Released at the height of 'flower power' in 1967, We Are Ever So

Clean is widely considered to be the finest popsike album ever

recorded. Produced by Giorgio Gomelsky (discoverer of the Rolling

Stones and the Yardbirds), it's a fascinating amalgam of whimsical

pop, music hall humour and acid rock."

O Pitchforkmedia deu nota 8.6 pro disco na resenha que saiu essa semana:

"Blossom Toes were the twee-est band of all time-- twice as twee as

the Dukes of Stratosphear covering "(Listen to the) Flower People" in

front of an audience of animated chipmunks, thrice as twee as a Keane

painting magically brought to life by a sprinkling of fairy dust and

singing the Fluff Fluff Fluff Fluff and Cuddleyness catalogue."

O 2o disco é mais progressivo e eu ainda estou digerindo.
