Camacana’ perhaps or, to put it another way, Americana from Cambridge. This is the first album release from ‘Model Village’ and a joy it is to behold. A mix of styles from tuneful pop on the openers, ‘Hang Ups Goodbye’ and ‘Josefina’  to reflective on ‘Country Claimed Me’, with the lyric, “An hour to the City is wasted”, as I sit on my commute writing this, to Neil Young sonic soundscapes on ‘Dog Watches’.

 

A mix as well on the vocals with Rachel and Ian mainly sharing the duties either individually or harmonising which, works really well whoever, is taking the lead.

 

The band in the past have described themselves as a Success free Supergroup”, as  they have all been/are in other groups, most notably Dan who is an active member of Fuzzy Lights who are a great UK psychedelic experience if, they should pass your way.

 

The band has ‘first time out of the box’ produced, a fun rhythmic record even with some darker lyrics. This should be a regular in the car this summer.
