ROPE is pleased to announce THE FRESH & ONLY’S will bring their San Francisco psych-pop to The Compass, Chester on Tuesday 11th June.
The Fresh & Onlys look exactly like a biker gang composed of record store employees who could stomp your ass while shouting Kobaïan (that language ‘70s French prog band Magma made up) at you, if they felt like it. So, it’s cool if you feel a bit unnerved when first meeting these four shaggy San Franciscans, even if that meeting only occurs via their songs. There’s something very bad-ass about their music; it’s entirely assured and brazenly unique.
The band, a project shared by Tim Cohen and Shayde Sartin, goes much further than a simple revival taking a little from here and a little from there, sometimes from fifties rock, or from elastic garage or from the immaculate pop of the Byrds. With a handful of self edited singles and cassettes, a self titled debut from 2009, sophmore full length “Grey Eyed Girls” from 2010 and the EP “August in my Mind” the Californians newest release “Play It Strange” , is an incredible record of cheerful pop that can sound like R.E.M at times and the Cramps at others
