Wow, this album is a belter, a belter I tell you!



Entire thing streamable here:

It's a mixture of new material and old RSM stuff(with a cover of the Huey Smith & The Clowns classic Don't You Just Know It thrown in) made glorious psychedelic power pop with the help of Falkner, who takes lead vocals on a version of R Stevie's Another Day Slips Away that is absolutely fucking glorious.

This is great too, although not the same version as on the album:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  Love me some R. Stevie Moore.

God bless for making this thread. This record is definitely one of my favs of the year so far: will we get a guitar-pop song as wonderful as Sincero Amore in the next 7/8 months? I doubt it.

I'm not particularly as familiar with Falkner, but he brings a lot to this album and the track on here credited solely to him (Horror Show) is as good as anything else on it. I know he used to be in Jellyfish (another band where I've liked what I've heard but haven't investigated deeply), but has he done anything particularly amazing on his own?

One of the greatest power pop tunes ever written!

Just checked this out thanks to you lot and it's a right cracker. Don't have much to add at the moment but it's full of tunes, and kind of like a sort of demented lo-fi xtc/jellyfish type thing with some mad experimental instrumental stuff too, and I really like it. I also too am not familiar with Falkner's stuff but will be checking it out pronto sharpish
