Album Description

The Earlies are an American/English collective who produce the kind of music you'd expect Brian Wilson to create if he was just starting out today. Their 2004 album `These Were The Earlies' is a sumptuous trawl through dreamlike soundscapes that recalls Spiritualized, Neil Young and even Phil Spector at their most blissed out. A mesmerizing record from a truly awesome band. . Names/Warner. 2004.

5 out of 5 stars Intense Album........2005-04-13

After a few listens the album will hook you in. I would suggest popping this album in for a road trip then lighting up a cig, stoag, swigging a brew, slurping a coke or whatever you do. Sit back and relax and let the album guide you through the landscapes. Nonetheless, I believe the ablum is best listened through desert landscapes, ie West Texas, East Cali, New Mex, etc. The album is a great concoction of many different sounds layered together. It is an american version of the scottish band Mogwai or English Spiritualized with more singing, less guitar and more synth sounds layered. I highly suggest this difficult to categorize album. Wonderful debut.

4 out of 5 stars Fascinating and compelling.......2004-10-13

Bought this while waiting on the release of SMiLE. I have found this release to be both fascinating and oddly compelling, a bit like the music of Sean O'Hagan's High Llamas with a surprising dash of brother Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue on the keyboard. Well worth a listen.
