Blue Sky on Mars by Matthew Sweet.
or Rating:
Performer Notes: Personnel: Matthew Sweet (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass, Theremin); Brendan O'Brien (guitar, E-bow, piano, electric harpsichord, Mellotron, synthesizer, keyboards, drums); Tony Marsico (bass); Rick Menck, Stuart Johnson (drums).
Recorded at Southern Tracks Recording Studio, Atlanta, Georgia; Sunset Sound and Matthew Sweet's home, Los Angeles, California.
For his sixth album, Matthew Sweet jettisons longtime guitarists Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd and goes it largely alone, playing most of the instruments himself, with keyboard help from Pearl Jam producer Brendan O'Brien. But the song remains the same, even if the downtown guitar sound doesn't. Short, sweet and to the point, BLUE SKY contains 12 brilliant nuggets of crunchy power-pop that recall the golden age of Top 40 radio. As much a fan as he is a rock and roller, Sweet trots out his reverence with "Back To You," which features a "Good Vibrations"-type intro and then waves of chiming, Byrdsy guitar. Sweet has a penchant, and a knack, for vintage sounds. Sprinkled throughout the album are swirling synths and delicious Mellotron ("Heaven And Earth," "Behind The Smile"), loads of fuzz guitar ("Over It," "Into Your Drug") and even a Casio drum machine ("Until You Break").
Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (3/28/97, p.68) - "...There's less lyrical suprise or sonic edge, but his power pop still has the knack." - Rating: B
Q (5/97, p.128) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Like Bob Mould fronting The Beach Boys, he writes instantly appealing songs whose melodies are all irrepressibly buoyant...The result is head-spinning, intoxicating stuff."
Format: Vinyl (1 Disc)
Studio/Live: Studio
Release Date: 26 January, 2015
Label: Music on Vinyl
