The Jeanies \u2013 <\/strong>The Jeanies<\/strong><\/em>
\nI look back fondly upon the early-to-mid 1980s, an era in which the cost of studio time began to fall within the range of local, unsigned acts. And others just scored a Tascam Portastudio and went the DIY route at the tail-end of the analog era. It’s that latter approach that is suggested on a new(!) recording from The Jeanies<\/strong>. The album sounds like it was mastered direct from cassette. The lo-to-mid-fi production doesn’t mask the energy of the group, who aim for (and hit) a winning Romantics<\/strong> vibe. Absolutely no keyboards were used in the making of The Jeanies<\/em>.<\/p>\n
