CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com This debut is all about the pleasures of pop's melodic hooks, catchy rhythms, and pleasing tones. The group sprinkles ba-ba-ba and do-do-do backup vocals all over the disc; that's one reason Call and Response feels so light and fluffy. But the well-arranged, airy music is grounded by the rhythm section's loose-but-right foundation. These Californians draw heavily from various late-'60s groups, but at least a couple of tracks recall sounds from other decades. "Lightbulb" evokes "Genius of Love," the 1981 single by Tom Tom Club, while the second half of the two-part "Stars Have Eyes" surprisingly brings to mind "Suavecito," a hit by the '70s Chicano Latin rock band Malo. Tracks like these reveal that Call and Response aren't so much '60s fetishists as they are musicians heavily attracted to all sorts of accessible sounds. Some will dismiss this CD as derivative treacle; others will enjoy its upbeat offerings. --Fred Cisterna Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsCall And Response Rips cloudy | new york | 02/22/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This group is vocal, versitile, and very fun. Funky breakbeats, catchy basslines, funtime guitar, and spacey keyboards dominate the sound. Vocal harmonies reminiscent of the wonderful groups of the sixties, like the zombies or the free design." A Very Unique Sound! Heather S. Woodworth | 04/18/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The vocals and instrumentation of this groups new, exciting, and forshawdowish music brings back the great sound of the 60's into a modern pop and funk chart. With the bouncing and lyrical bass line which provides the group with a strong bottom of the pyramid, an exceptional and ponderous guitar chording, and a harmonous, outgoing vocal section all provides the pyramid with a different and new sound making our middle and top sections, and of course the drumline, with a tight and flowing beat to keep all of our band together makes this band a great seller of their new charts. I would definately recommend this recording to anyone because the music is understandable and makes you relax after a long days work and ponder back into the 60's modern dance beat. Some favorite songs are Rollarskate, featured on Napster's discover section and Nightflight, a very harmonous vocal chart. Try and experience this young group of musicians and give them a chance to speak in the world today with their new line of music." Hot diggety! i like this album. Lane Becker | Austin, TX USA | 06/29/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "ah, pure pop craftsmanship -- such a joy. some albums grow on you, but not this one -- this one sucks you in immediately and just doesn't let go.i fell for this band just two weeks ago, listening to the track "rollerskate" off the computer at a friend's house. on a whim -- the internet is all about the whim, see -- i ordered it (from the label's website, which i highly recommend everyone else do as well, and not just because it's 4 bucks cheaper) using that selfsame computer, and i haven't had it out of my cd drive since it showed up in the mail. beautfiul, flowing, poppy, fun. it's a real album, too -- not just a collection of disjointed songs. the band has an aesthetic; i admire that. oh yeah.also, they sent me a little napster button in the envelope that brought the cd. these guys know where their bread is buttered."
