Album Review
Hampered a bit by a fairly terrible band name (supposedly chosen using one of those random word generators one finds on the Internet) that makes them sound like yet another cookie-cutter mall punk emo band, London-based internationalists Sunny Day Sets Fire are actually an immediately likable indie pop band with subtle psychedelic influences. Following up on a pair of scene-setting EPs, debut full-length Summer Palace makes a strong case for the band right out of the gate with the exhilarating widescreen pop of "Wilderness," a meaty and melodic piece of summertime ear candy that hits all the pure pop pleasure centers while, remarkably, not sounding enough like any particular band to make its influences obvious. Little of the rest of Summer Palace hits those exalted heights, though the swooning, expansive "Mandarins" comes very close, but it's a consistently solid record filled with perky vocal hooks, luxurious male/female harmonies, and inventive, tuneful arrangements. Utterly charming without being precious and cutesy, Summer Palace is an unexpected gem recommended to fans of the Apples in Stereo, XTC, or any of the Dave Fridmann-produced bands.

Band Name?
by Seamus43Random word generator? Yeah, highly unlikely. Sunny Day Real Estate? Boy Sets Fire? C'mon, kids, you're not fooling anyone - except for those who like good music. Run along and get a real band name -one that hasn't been done already...twice- and stop pretending to be something you're not. Tricking people into listening to your music isn't the same as tricking them in to buying your music...and you won't achieve that simply by copying existing band names. Try something that fits your music, like "Lack of New" (get it? It's a pun. And puns are horrible, just like your music.)
terrible hype band.
by WHITESTRIPES333This band is awful. I hated them before it was cool to like them, and I stand by that. Just another reason not to give hipsters guitars.
Wow!
by BigTCatchy, trippy, and great. This album is a real stunner, a total joy and a wonder to listen to. So far, this is my favorite album this year!
