The Thrills
Big Sur
The Dublin based The Thrills have been lumped in with
the rising garage rock movement, but are in fact utterly
detached from it, as this sparkly pop tune shows. This
wonderfully cheery summer anthem recalls such 60s luminaries
as The Beach Boys, whilst showing a marvellous ear for
a tune and an indelibly original touch. Some wonderful
rising guitar arpeggios and a cheeky reference to the Monkees
round this gem out. One can only guess that the sunny LA
weather infected these Dublin lads during the recording
of their yet to be released album So Much For The City,
which this is taken from.
