WYATT BLAIR – BANANA CREAM DREAM
$7.70
Wyatt Blair has done time in TRMRS, Mr. Elevator and The Brain Hotel and is the main man behind Lollipop. The original release of Banana Cream Dream was a couple of years ago on both Lollipop and Burger. The artwork on this LP screams Burger influenced of Cut and Paste, but the music is much so better than that. Blair channels his inner 0’s glam and LA power-pop influences on his debut solo LP. It’s like Sweet meets The Beat. “Sugar Lips, Cinnamon Hips” is like Marc Bolan fronting a garage band. The intro “You and I (Are Just Letters In The Alphabet)” is suspiciously close to “Jessie’s Girl,” but does not stay there. The catchiest song might “Sweet Operator (Talkin On The Telephone)” which may start with the aforementioned telephone, but powers through a hook riff to hang a coat on and one hell of a catchy combo that is both Slade and gritty American Power-pop. – Ed Stuart
