Switch on the radio and it's like a more pumped up version of 1970. I don't know if these guys have anything to say or not, but I listened to their title track twice, and that's always a good sign.

Psychedelic Rock musick reminiscent of the output of much of England
during the late 1960's by way of a group of folks from Finland in the
21st century. Such a description intrigued me, and I figured it would
either be really lousy or really great. Well, it was closer to really
great than really lousy, and I will look to these guys in the future 
for
more and hope that they further polish the jewell that they've already
given us a glimpse of within this release. Exquisite guitar playing 
that
sounds as if it were being done by now deceased Rolling Stones-godstar
Brian Jones. Emotive vocals in English that don't sound at all Finnish
as far as accents go. Despite the fact that they are using psychedelia
as their starting point, this still sounds original and not nostalgiac.
Of course I could compare some of what I hear to older groups (The Who,
The Small Faces, Cream, and The Seeds), but I could also tell you that
they are just as deserving of your attention as some of the current
groups making musick today (Spiritualized, International Noise
Conspiracy, The Super Furry Animals, and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci come
immeadiately to mind). The nice combination of psychedlia, mod, glam 
and
garage rock that The Electric Crayon Set manages to brew together is
something rare these days, and therefore is deserving of your 
attention.
Dagobert's Revenge readers will also appreciate seeing the inside liner
note art of three Templar knights, although I am still not sure why or
how or what they have to do with The Electric Crayon Set's musick.

Sincerely,
