Hit: 5 Stars
Sunshine Fix's "Green Imagination" provides great pumping melodic indie rock. Bands like Beulah, Shins & Jonah would be kissing cousins. The opener "Statues & Glue" begins with a pounding drum and moves to tight harmonies and a ripping lead guitar, "See those standing in line, but who's got the time?" Then bang, it's over. "Runaway Run" is a whimsical track with a sweet acoustic guitar that blossoms into an orchestral piece complete with the Georgia Children's Choir, "If there ever comes a time when you can make up your mind, just find me, but until then, runaway, run." Other tracks are also strong such as the vocally distorted echo chambers used on "What Do You Know." "Extraordinary/Ordinary" boasts background vocals that could pep up a Dr. Pepper commercial; and just when you think it's going to get a bit too spacey, the driving electric lead wrenches its way back in and cranks the track forward. Songwriter and lead vocalist Bill Doss includes the wacko space noodling of "Innerstates" and then makes it into a glorious choral piece. "Afterglow" is a marvelous pop march that trounces through the melody. Shins-like, "Enjoy the Teeth" has Doss' piano defining the melody with violins and cellos making the piece float on the vocal, "It's important to see reality as a place we can be." Then they get to the middle of the song, throw that out, and start channeling Henry Mancini and Peter Gunn, which is part of the charm of Sunshine Fix, you don't know what to expect or what will come next. "Face the Ghost" sounds like a single aimed for Halloween airplay. The set closes with "Sunday Afternoon" that bubbles electrically. Kevin Evans does a wonderful job with the art graphics on the booklet, reflecting the highly creative latitude that this band allows itself. "Green Imagination" bursts with energy, joy and is crazy enough to intrigue. Enjoy!
