The Sunday Drivers "Tiny Telephone"

This is an excellent group from Madrid, Spain. Yes, the market for power pop in Spain is huge. Just look at PopMadrid.com and see. The mellow relaxed vibe of “She” sets the tone for this album. Very laid back with great melody and vocal performance almost like a poppy Ryan Adams yields to the energetic single “Do it” that really stands out. This is followed by the very loungey “Paranoid” complete with fuzzy keyboards. But the classic here is the next tune “Life Is” – a beatlesque tour-de-force and my favorite here. It is a little bit of Sgt. Pepper mixed with some Penny Lane and wonderful. The mellow vibe returns with “Sing when you’re happy” and is a very enjoyable pop guitar song, like some of McCartney’s better ballad moments. The vocals are not unlike the Honeydogs’ Adam Levy with a slight European accent. And this really comes out on the last two songs of the album “Better If I” and “Goodbye.” A worthy addition to your music collection for sure.
