Summer Girlfriends "Shockwaves"


"Shockwaves" would've been a National Pop League smash. I can feel it in my bones. I can feel it in the way that it fires little pulses of guitar sonar into your left ear as the lead guitar trickles iridescent droplets of  pure sound into your right ear.  I can feel it in the way that it has just the right fidelity for Woodside Social success - not too polished, not too mussed-up - in much the same way that The Organ's "Memorize The City" had.  I can feel it in the faintest echo of Debbie Harry in the vocal.  I can feel it in the kazoo, for goodness sake!  Sometimes I miss being knee deep at the NPL.

The route "Shockwaves" took to my ears was:

Addenda Records > Mike Turner > Collapse Board > Twitter
