Jellyfish - The Ghost at Number One



This is the kind of thing you find when you invest a stupid amount of time in watching old "Later...with Jools Holland" videos on youtube. Still a pleasant find it is without doubt. Not a band I'd ever heard of but a brief touch of googling reveals them to be a largely forgotten, if influenial San Francisco power pop outfit from the early nineties. If that didn't give away the fact they're a bunch of smelly hippies, the outfits certainly would. Still there's some truly impressive musicianship and harmony singing on display here. There's more than a hint of the beach boys here, they song has the same positive vibe about it. Christ, I'll be turning into a smelly hippy next with that kind of lanuage.
