Pixy Jones - Bits n Bobs




Released: 16 Sept 2022
Label: Strangetown Records
Buy Here


Pixy Jones, once of the Welsh indie band El Goodo, releases his debut album. It is a superb listen, full of 60s-inspired Psych/Garage pop gems.   

It opens with album standout - 'I'm Not There' which is moody sounding with some wonderful harmonies, reminiscent of The Zombies. It is beautifully arranged and produced, sounding like it could be straight from the Psychedelic era.  

Other highlights include 'Bad Throat' which demonstrates superb storytelling. It is quite sad lyrically about someone's struggle with Cancer. Another favourite here is 'Maureen Dreams No More' which has a brilliantly catchy guitar riff and brought to mind early Kinks. 

'There's Something Wrong' is upbeat and more Beatles sounding with melancholic lyrics about depression. 'I'm Coming Home' has more Country vibes, reminiscent of The Flying Burrito Brothers.
 
A superb album, full of 60s Psych goodness, with memorable melodies and quirky lyrics. Highly recommended.
