Eclecticism is the order of the day on Bash Bish, the debut CD from the NYC popsters, produced by former Television man, Fred Smith. It's all pop to be sure, but rather than the straight-ahead Beatles based power pop most often heard, Bubble incorporate a whole bathtub full of influences. And that's just the first three tracks. And that's the best label name I've heard since I can't remember when. It's been many years since their excellent self-titled EP was released and now the full length arrives and it's a winner.
Bubble is pure pop, though.
11 songs of sunny,chimed up OEn strummed guitars that evoke sunny-pop 60's hooks. Not dissimilar to Richard X. Heyman, The Mockers, The Mockingbirds and Blue Cartoon. Sheer pop exuberance, strength of the songwriting and arrangements and solid production more than push the reservations to the margins. Very Highly Recommended. Whatever, as far as I know this is the debut long player, and it's a perfectly likeable dollop of upbeat, mostly pure pop, produced sympathetically by ex-Television chap, Fred Smith.
