New CD "Colors From the Future
Just released, January 2007 on Beef Platter Records. Buy it from us, or from iTunes.
"Best album of 2007? I recognize that it's early in the year but I'm going to call it now: The Jennifers' latest disc, Colors From the Future. Shades of R.E.M., the Soft Boys, the Feelies, Television, even a bit of Echo and the Bunnymen. It's all good, friends, and Colors From the Future gets better every time around the track." - Go Metric
"Colors From the Future contains bright and citrusy pop as reminiscent of the flowery tang of oranges and lemons as it is of Oranges and Lemons. The similarity to that 1989 XTC album isn't a coincidence. Influenced by new-wave guitar-bass songwriters like Robyn Hitchcock, Elvis Costello, XTC, Television,- The Jennifers share a melody-centric approach with those early not-quite-new-wave bands, as well as a palette of clean, bell-like instrumentation. But where Television might be a hard sell as background music for a summer barbecue, Colors' songs feel run-through-the-sprinkler cheerful while still retaining art-rock smarts." - CityPaper
"The Jennifers have a new LP which is titled "Colors From The Future" and I have been most impressed with the guitar pop on show. A little more ballsy than the twee bands and a little more twee than indie rock bands, The Jennifers pull off intelligent guitar pop." - IndieMP3.co.uk
"Catchy guitar pop sound with some clever lyrics. The style is part British invasion, and part new wave influenced pop of the type Elvis Costello used to produce at his peak. Undoubted highlights are the opening track "Mrs Gray", about Dorian's other half and her picture-perfect looks; and "Fell in a Hole", a tribute to the Mersey Sound of the 60's and done in the style of the period. At their best this band are a match for anyone in the guitar pop arena." - Blues Bunny
"I'm going to go out on a limb and call The Jennifers "Mrs Gray" rock music's finest Oscar Wilde allusion of 2007. It could also be rock music's finest Jennifer Grey rhinoplasty allusion of the decade, but maybe I'm reading too deeply into the lyrics." - The Answer May Suprise You
"Sounding like a good indie mix of Guided By Voices guitar pop meets They Might Be Giants quirkiness, I found alot here I like. "Mrs. Gray" is an awesome uptempo rocker similar to the Feelies and Velvet Crush. Following this is a satisfiying opus "Landslide" -- over four minutes of hummable magic. Some of the songs have a nice 80's style of guitar rhythm, like "Starfleet Academy" and "Lazy Stalker." It is most definitely worth picking up!" - PowerPopaholic
