The Channels - The Channels - 2006

From the get-go, the Beach Boys echoes are priceless, endearing and so succulently mouth-watering, that those echoes alone can instantly hook you. But with influences drawn also from Jonathan Richman, Pavement and Fountains of Wayne, this nuance-rich, soaring yet crunchy dream pop is totally transfixing, entirely absorbing and invades the heart like a virus you'd welcome with open arms. Those little twinkles of early sixties pop and garage rock mixed together with today's indie quality makes The Channels one of our new favorite bands. How an album can be simultaneously adorable and profound is the question of the day- and The Channels are here to answer it. -CD Baby
