We are happy to report that in making Burn The Jets, Treasures of Mexico did not plunder the historical artifacts of Mexico. However, they do deliver musical treasures to enjoy. Ranging from jangle to gentle psychedelia to '80s guitar pop, the songs are masterful creations by artists who have lived and influenced the relevant eras and only get better with time. There really isn't a weak song among the ten tracks, and there are plenty of highlights. This album seems to be flying under the radar a bit, but regular readers of this site should find it hitting their sweet spot with loving force.
Treasures of Mexico are Mark Matthews, Bob Collins, Nick Rice and Russ Baxter, with additional vocals by Beth Arzy. The members' career projects include The Dentists, The Discords, The Men With The Golden Gonads, Phaze, Secret Affair, Groovy Uncle, and Dutch Embassy. Burn The Jets is out now in digital, vinyl and CD formats via Spinout Nuggets
