Review by Greg Gitzel
The debut single "Poppy Song" from hi-fi and stereo states
"I wrote this
poppy song to get inside your head." Well, it does, and it's not alone,
as most of the twelve songs on the CD are catchy, singable tunes. This is the
first major release from Edmonton's Mollys Reach (not to be confused with
Vancouver's Mollies Revenge), and they've created a fun,
simple, ear-catching pop record with influences definitely coming from
Sloan and
Super Friendz.
Highlights are "Tremors," "In Orbit" and "March,"
not to forget the stuck-in-my-head "Poppy Song." The sound quality
is very up to par and Sean Rivalin's vocals are very likeable. Great backing
vocals and a solid-sounding band makes this CD a worthy listen.
This album probably won't sell a million copies or win any Junos, but it should develop a strong following. If you like fun, catchy, innocent songs about everyday life, this one is for you.
