THE LOVETONES
Meditations
Tee Pee Records
· The Lovetones are pals with the Brian Jonestown Massacre. So what?
I’m beginning to think that saying that a band is steeped in psychedelia is just a nice way of saying that they are boring. That’s certainly the case with Meditations by The Lovetones. Sure, there are fine moments where they channel the Dandy Warhols or Soundtrack of Our Lives, but the rest of the time there is way too much sitar. I can handle indulgence. Hell, I love eight-minute songs. What I don’t like is three-minute songs that feel like eight-minute songs. When the band isn’t wanking on druggy riffs, they just sound like a second-rate version of The Beatles. As long as Paul McCartney is still touring, that market is already covered.
