ALMOST CHARLIE The Plural of Yes
|
“THE PLURAL OF YES- (WORDS ON MUSIC)-This fine Minneapolis label has been around for quite some time and while they don’t release much what they DO release is usually a cut or two above and this Berlin, German band certainly is. …Here’s to hoping Mr. Mason has a notebook full of lyrics and that Homuth is itching to put them to songs for a PLURAL OF YES Part 2!”
(Daggerzine)
“Reviewers often bleat on about songs being perfectly crafted, but Almost Charlie really do epitomise the idea of musical craftsmanship, in that the songs sound simple, yet are often deceptively complex and layered in their arrangements and structures. What’s more they make it sound so natural, so effortless.”
-Christopher Nosnibor (Whisperin&Hollerin)
“There's a lot of depth to the pop tunes on Plural of Yes. Fans of classic pop will find plenty to love here.”
(Babysue)
“...the writing is, indeed, first rate. One of those albums that is immediately enjoyable and even more impressive on successive listens.”
(Aidabet)
“it's almost a greatest hits of elegantly hooky and wistful guitar pop”
-Ned Raggett (All Music)
“This album could have just as easily been recorded in 1967 as today, but is no less interesting in the subtleties of each note every lyric. This album is a definite nod to yesteryear, but modern pop has not had this kind of beautiful music in years.”
-Joseph Bridges (Real Sound Theory)
“Yes is slick, like the '60s-era pop record it wants to be, but never detached; there's real emotion in these tracks. Much of this is achieved by Homuth, whose impressive instrumental skill -– from harmonica to sitar to glockenspiel –- lends each song its own unique stamp.”
Henning Fog (Entertainment Weekly)
“The album is at its very best when it is at its most Beatles-esque. ‘The World Is Full of Supermen’ could have jumped straight off 'Rubber Soul' ”
Pennyblackmusic
“Possessing a mid-1960s sound of the Beatles coupled with the music of Belle And Sebastian and muses like Nick Drake, Almost Charlie make recording music an art form.”
Maurice Hope-Americana-UK
“What stands out most about this album is the meticulous craftsmanship behind every song. That attention to detail makes the infectious melodic '60s pop of The Plural of Yes a must-have.”
-Jessica Simons (Caught in the carousel)
