The Sha La Das - Your Picture, album review


Tight Harmony and Melodic Underscoring

This is a delightful father and three sons second album of doo wop, soul and psyche pop - all informed by the persistence of tight harmony and melodic underscoring. Always sounding familiar, it never sounds pastiche. The Stylistics are my touchstone's echo in the listening, sans the falsetto. Fuzz guitar in the catchy if brisk closer Gonna Catch You is a blast of summer breeze.
