Generationals - Heatherhead
Fourteen years after their first album, Generationals still have the chops to excite with brightly-colored '80s shaded pop and the taste to know when they have hit the bullseye. What amazes us, however, is how fresh the band sounds on Heatherhead, their latest album and seventh overall (if we are counting correctly, none of us were math majors). The arrangements are varied and playful, melodies and hooks are uplifting, and the rhythms big and propulsive. The end result sounds like a series of anthems polished to just the right degree.
The songs that we embedded below grabbed our attention at first listen. But there is no filler in this set. For example, also check out "Elena" and "Faster Than A Fever".
Generationals are Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer. Heatherhead is out now via Polyvinyl.
