Premiere: Wonder Wheel – Think Too Much.
February 15, 2011, 1 comments
Until today mostly known for his incredible solo endeavors, Orange, California’s musical genius and production mastermind (Puro Instinct, Tan Dollar, Dash Jacket, etc.) Paul Andrew Rosales aka Wonder Wheel recently teamed up with his pals Raul Esparza and Danny Gonzales to record the first full-length band album under his own recording moniker. The outcome is no less than absolutely compelling, Rosales’ fine pop compositions seriously benefit from the lineup, the instruments have more space to unfold which leads to an overall richer, more mature and developed sound. Just like Ariel Pink, with whom Rosales often got compared in the past, and his band recording of Before Today, the cheap term “lo-fi” has lost its justification for the latest Wonder Wheel effort. The wonderful, SoCal psych-pop tune Think Too Much, debuted below, even features a short guitar solo, giving the song a delightful 70s classic rock touch.
Wonder Wheel’s Total Bundy is out on cassette this spring via California’s Burger Records. The band’s digital single IMHO + Deep in the Bottle is available for free on bandcamp.
