Imagine calling yourself after an archipelago of tropical islands. Then imagine using said moniker to flaunt a style of music that belongs to a revered time and place. The late sixties to be precise half way down Kinky Avenue, about 2 blocks from those surfing dudes. By this musical stance Paul Arnusch’s outfit knew they were leaving themselves open for ridicule and unfair comparisons. Lucky then that the Canadians prepared well because the new old music that they make is fresh and inspired. ‘Sorry James’ is so finely tailored you can almost hear the creases. Who needs absolute originality when there’s a great time to had tussling with the greats and coming away with a victory. KD
