Fonda - Catching
Up To the Future
3rd album by this brilliant band from Los Angeles! Co-ed vocals
and a wall of guitars showcase a shoegazer sheen buoyed by classic
pop hooks. English expatriates Emily Cook and David Newton (founder/guitarist/songwriter
of The Mighty Lemon Drops) provide an international flavor to
the proceeding along with bandmates David Klotz, Adam Flanders,
and Johnny Joyner. Recorded and mixed at David Newton's Rollercoaster
Recording studios.
Great stuff akin to labelmates The Melody Unit and Folksongs
For The Afterlife. Dreampop with heaps of melody like a mix
of Lush, Rocketship, and Heavenly! Spectacular stuff!
“Technicolor California pop cross-bred with British indie
pop, featuring a dash of psychedelia and dreamy female vocals” ALTERNATIVE
PRESS
“Is it twee? ‘60s pop? Late ‘90s indie rock?
Combining the best of these genres, the Los Angeles-based Fonda
wants you to remember when velour ruled, wallpaper patterns
consisted of orange horizontal stripes, and egg-shaped chairs
populated airport lounges… ” MAGNET
