Jake Sprecher’s The Wind-Ups make a welcome return (consider us fans of his debut LP). A new LP is expected this Fall, but meanwhile we can enjoy a new four song single that sees Sprecher paying tribute to one of his heroes Jonathan Richman. He does so in typical The Wind-Ups fashion: creating original pop music with blunt force and sharp objects – pop music for those with a distorted sense of what pop music entails. My favorite song of the four is Medusa’s Spell. It even has harmonies!
Fun fact, Richman plays lead guitar on single closer Little Boy Blue, and his partner Nicole Montalbano plays tamboura on the title track Jonathan Says.
7″ single available at Blue Arrow Records.
