Oh, this will be a good day for guitar pop fans, as we intend to feature two albums and a few singles between now and when we sign off for the day. The first is the self-titled band by Chicago's Alpine Subs. Yes, we know that the name can refer to a venerated line of subwoofers or a popular sandwich shop. But it also has been adopted by a group of Midwestern musicians that create a sunny brand of '60s-shaded guitar pop that is tailor made for your summer needs. Psych-jangle, robust basslines and cheery harmonies abound, and the melodies are soar and explode into bright colors. And for listeners that want to relax in the shade with a gin and tonic, Alpine Subs also contains some dreamy and relaxed tunes such as"If For My Eyes" and "More Than Love". We started listening to this album a couple of days ago, but it how holds a place on our 'essential summer 2019 playlist'.
Alpine Subs are Will Goodspeed (vocals/guitar), Pat Loveless (guitar), Carrie Roche (vocals/keys/percussion), Brendan Taylor (bass), Benji Feldheim (drums), and Connor McDougal (percussion). The album is out now in digital and CD formats via Subjangle Records. See the Bandcamp link below.
