Snake Flower 2 / Renegade Daydream

Tic Tac Totally

Following the Talk About It single TTT did earlier this year, SNAKE FLOWER 2 and MATTHEW MELTON (BARE WIRES, RIVER CITY TANLINES, MEMPHIS BREAK-UPS) deliver a full-length album cranked up for a ballsier, more blown-out sound with production courtesy of culprits JAY BRONZINI (The Cuts, Time Flys) on recording, and WEASEL WALTER (XBXRX, Flying Luttenbachers) for mastering. With all the bits’n’pieces of the psych/punk/garage rock’n’roll mixture that made their singles stay on the turntables everywhere. CD version comes with a fat booklet and complete lack of easy shortcuts.  "Twangy minimalism that called to mind Tyrannosaurus Rex, circa their electric move on Beard of Stars (prob the production job there), fused with a modern garage sensibility. If you had said these guys were fresh outta Memphis, I wouldn't have tossed it back in your face. Since typing that sentence, a search nets me the ex-River City Tan Lines connection and I hook my fingers in my belt loops...yessir! A great slice of Americana 2006, non-New Weird division. Meandering guitar-based garage-psych that will appeal to the enormous consumer's market heavily invested in Love's Four Sail LP as well as Big Star's 3rd." -Ryan Wells (Z GUN)
