Sharp Pins: “Circle All The Dots”

Stylized mod pop. Plenty of washed out reverb on those mics, combined with jangly progressions, sparkling melodies, and rainbow harmonies to dwell – if only for a little while – in the sonic dress of yesteryear. Shades of early Doug Tuttle. Sharp Pins writes catchy songs that want to be catchy. They might not all catch you, and you might not catch all of them. But enough stick to make Radio DDR a solid hangout record. Our highlighted track “Circle All The Dots” rises like the sun. Via perennialdeath.
