Producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse) has managed to harness good songwriting, great guitar playing, and charismatic singing to create a sound that, measure for measure, is always surprising. Similarly, guitarist Brian Stach cannot play a single note you don’t want to listen to. Tommy Evans doesn’t have a distinctive voice, he just has a voice you could listen to for hours. But that’s good company to be in, and on Peach, there are no fewer than 10 songs you could easily hope would make it onto radio playlists from the ’60s – the Aughts. They are, at their roots, a riff-resplendent blues band with a gloss of pop chops that bear a stronger resemblance to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Blur than to any of the bands they’ll play with in Minneapolis on Friday night. But if we are to rave about Peach - and get ready, cuz we’re about to - let’s first clarify what kind of band Secret Colours really are, and what they aren’t.īased on Peach alone, they’re not a psychedelic band. Their first album, Secret Colours, had sufficient reverb to qualify them to play at next week’s Bathysphere: A Psychonautical Voyage, wherein they’re paired with “new gaze” and neo-psychedelic bands like First Communion Afterparty. Chicago’s Secret Colours have just released their second album, Peach, and it is everything that name implies - sweet, tasty, and a satisfying summer treat.
