Reviews:
The Chrysler - Blue gold EP (Flora&Fauna)
I like this three track single quite a lot. The Chrysler play very pleasant music, with lush melodies that lull along in a Beatles-esque way that serves as a perfect soundtrack while I'm sitting inside with a cold watching the snow falling outside (no hardcore punk for me today!). I wouldn't mind hearing more of this, and will definitely be on the lookout for their forthcoming album. Even the lyrics are pretty good, and not as contrived or as clichéd as their music invites you to think. The best song on the single is the second track, "Dear dad", and the main track "Blue gold" is oddly enough the weakest track here. Get it now before winter ends and all you want to hear is All Girl Summer Fun Band all the time.
(from www.itsatrap.com)
"An oddball pop song that recalls the gentle approach and exceptional songcrafting of Odessey & Oracle-era Zombies as well as the early efforts of The Clientele. This cut will be featured on the group’s forthcoming 2005 full-length, which has already moved near the top of my most anticipated albums list. “Dear Dad” reminds me of The Coral in all kinds of good ways. While The Chrysler do not rock-out like The Coral, the two do share a subtle psychedelia, an enthusiasm for well-arranged horns, and an steadfast appreciation for the late-‘60s aesthetic that spawned genre androgyny. Good stuff!" (The Noiseboy's Top 30 for 2004, Blank Generation
