Menace Beach - Lemon Memory
Menace Beach - Lemon Memory
Menace Beach's Ratworld was one of the best garage rock releases of 2015. And, to my ears, this follow-up is either as good or better than the debut. The band specializes in a sort of sunny psychedelia mixed with noise pop. While it's not a wholly original concept, these guys are some of the best at it.
This particular record is filled with catchy, hooky, and melodically dynamic songs. And they alternate in mood from bittersweet and dreamy to joyful and raucous. It makes for a consistent and cohesive album experience with enough variety to pull you through to the end.
Basically, it's just a solid album that achieves exactly what it's going for and is fun to listen to. I hope you enjoy it like I did.
