What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE BASICS "keep your friends close" cd,2009.

The Basics' third and final album before drummer/(primary)vocalist Wally DeBacher called it quits to pursue his solo career under the new moniker of Gotye....
not dissimillar to their other two albums in that they are simple,easy going pop songs based in the 60s-70s sound...strangely enough though, i also heard a lot of simillarities to the Crowded House sound also(melodic pop and acoustic guitars)...
probably not quite as good as their other albums, nor is it as good as his second solo set 'making mirrors', but its still a reasonably good album of radio friendly pop.
nothing great on here at all, but nothing bad neither, just a steady allround good album.
