When Eric Scott \u2013 who sadly passed away before <i>I&#8217;m for the Flowers<\/i> was completed \u2013 sings lead, the group sounds closer to L.A. paisley underground scene of the 1980s: modern-ish rock filtered through a 60&#8217;s psychedelic sensibility. Rocking harder than most of their Mystery Lawn labelmates, the flywheels serve up a varied collection of hooky tunes on their debut. \u201cBack of Head\u201d is a stomping garage rocker, while the brief \u201cTake My Wings\u201d sounds like an outtake from Brian Wilson&#8217;s <i>SMiLE<\/i>. More subdued tracks like \u201cLet Me Take You Down (to the Sea)\u201d have a kind of grandeur that suggests the Flywheels have ambitions beyond the three-minute pop song. Allen Clapp&#8217;s layered production helps the Flywheels display their many strong musical assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: The Bangles, Young Fresh Fellows, Matthew Sweet When Kim Wonderley takes lead vocals, the Flywheels sound a bit like early Bangles with a subtle touch of country [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12712,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,62,65],"tags":[3054],"class_list":["post-12711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-release","category-rawk","category-review","tag-flywheels","cat-49-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12711"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12713,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12711\/revisions\/12713"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
