press release - Easter Songs
Easter Songs is the debut album from Brighton-based 100 Pets. The group began life as a solo project by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Sam Dook (also of alt.guitar-tuning chime unit, Lure Luxx), but soon evolved into a four-piece ensemble. Influenced by the likes of The Palace Brothers and Nick Drake, comparisons have also been drawn with Galaxie 500, Low and Robert Wyatt.
"Easter Songs is the latest in a line of records that teleport in from a world in which Brian Wilson rents out the lock-up garage where Pet Sounds was recorded. When Pickled Egg bands turn up, he sprinkles them with his genius dust and then sits behind his piano smiling while they get on with it. 100 Pets recorded ten tracks of low drama with the exceptional clarity of a Steve Albini production and the impression that this is the ghost of a Galaxie 500 record. Brian Wilson just smiled” [Robots and Electronic Brains]
