Release Notes:

2005 sophmore release from Austin`s The Golden
Apples is......a flat-out stunner! Lead off track
"Big Star" says it all.....sounding like Badfinger
playing "Radio City" from Big Star, literally! Lots
of jangle, pure pop hook chops, nirvana-induced
melodies and call and response vocals and a tight
band locking it all in. The rest of the album`s
other 13 songs keep it close to that spirit is the
very, very good news. Like their debut, Smooth,
clean vocals, multi-part harmonies and instantly
indelible hooks float this release way above the
pack but we`ll push this self-released gem to the
very head of indie power pop releases of 2005 and
make note to see if it lands in our Top 10 or 20 of
the year come December. It`s that good! Besides the
Badfinger and Big Star janglings all over the place,
The Knack, The Records, Cheap Trick, Guided By
Voices, The Plimsouls, and 20/20 all come into place
here. (for the more obscure, I hear some of fellow
Austin band Coffee Seargants pop charms here,
too.....a cool band for many of you to track down)
So, yes, there`s a lot of power pop nostalgia and
celebration going on here, but when you listen to
it, you know it`s 2005. That`s the charming key to
"Cooler Jets Will Prevail"`s ultimate achieving
success. Big Time Extremely Highly Recommended.
