When Chaputa! promises a special kind of psychedelic garage soul straight out of North East England, chances are you’ll have to reach for your wallet, and that is certainly the case with this 45. Thee Strawberry Mynde strikes the right chord in two new cuts shimmering with jangling guitars, punchy rhythms, and melodies that make it hard to sit still. Both the A-side Actions and its flip Love Is Out To Find You excel in ace guitar work and drawn-out “whoo-hoo” harmonies. The trio’s best release to date. Irresistible.
Actions b/w Love Is Out To Find You—produced by Graham Day—is out digitally and on 7″ vinyl through Chaputa! Records. Featuring Paul Garner (vocals, guitar), Davey Heard (bass), and Soulboy Stu (vocals, drums).
