your greedbagpress release - End the Year
‘End the Year’ contains four lo-fi pop gems – ‘Ghosts’, ‘Carol K’, ‘Dust’ and ‘End the Year’ - which demonstrate an innovative and accomplished songwriting talent worthy of Edinburgh-based Andy Walker's declared musical influences, which include Smog, the Beach Boys (celebrated rather obliquely in ‘Carol K’), Jim O’Rourke and the Flaming Lips.
“Aural jewel in the crown of the ever-consistent Pickled Egg. This 4 tracker is slow to kick in, but give it time, and I promise you will wear the vinyl out. Playing the mix and match game, Homescience drawon such luminaries as the Velvet Underground, Pavement and Will Oldham, while dipping their toes into the slacker generation and the wacky variations of West Coast pop. Not a chink in the armour in any of these 4 tracks, this is thoroughly recommended” [Mark Barton, Losing Today]
