author: CD Baby
The Sugarplastic makes some of the sweetest, quirkiest and most lovable jangly pop to come through the doors of CD Baby ever. With subtle highlights and influences from Brian Eno to the Beatles to Syd Barret, their mix of quaint, playful jangle, sweet guitar lines and a modern songwriting approach is simultaneously classic and original. Clever, a bit mischievous in places and delightfully eccentric, their handle on a distinct and unforgettable sound experience, otherwise known as their album, "Resin," is solid.

I hate the beatles with all the blackness of my soul. With that said, I would just like to add that this band makes my ears orgasm!

It usually takes a couple of listens for great hooks to kick in.. Sugarplastic have the knack for hooks that grab you about halfway through the first listen.. and many of their instrumental passages have an irresistable, almost sculptural kind of beauty that's difficult to describe. Comparisons with the Beatles are understandable but not really helpful, Sugarplastic can never have that sort of range or cultural impact.. but what they do, they do brilliantly. This despite occasional lapses into tweeness (in the sense of overly cute) which, I think, makes their music difficult to embrace for those not already seduced by the band's other real strengths. "Resin" is much better than the previous "Bang, the Earth is Round", although that album's 'Soft Jingo' is up with the best on this one.
