Details:
Hark! The Celebrity Pilots proudly present their latest drop into the psych-pop bucket, âSpooky Actionâ. Recorded and produced by Todd Tobias (GBV, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils) at Kent Ohioâs Waterloo Sound Recording, âSpooky Actionâ celebrates timeless pop songwriting on multi-layered tapestries of fuzzy guitars, ancient organs and monophonic synths.

Following up 2005âs âBeneath the Pavement a Beachâ, âSpooky Actionâ spreads out into a larger, more eccentric ellipse. From the Byrdsian by way of My Bloody Valentine rave up of âHappy Bloom Dayâ to the Beach Boys tinged âOur Dumb Centuryâ to the full out scatter shot punk-Zombies-esque âFestival of Fliesâ, songwriter/singer Chris Sheehan constructs another album of pop gems centered in 60/70s era psych, the Eno-Cale collaborations, and 80âs post punk.

âWhether itâs ringing power-pop, or stark soliloquies, Sheehan boasts the same deftly crafted acumen of established visionaries like Ted Leo and Apples in Stereoâs Robert Schneider, which as it goes without saying makes for some highly desirable company.â
