With cello reminiscent of T-Rex from the "Electric Warrior" era), and clean, dry vocals similar to those found on The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and "SMiLE", there’s no denying that orchestral pop band Met City must be huge fans of Brian Wilson and Marc Bolan. Songs like "Chess Street" (streaming) and "Mother Goose" have heart warming lyrics and chord progressions. Verging on operatic at times, you can’t help but smile at the light-hearted yet earnest songs these nouveau-baroquer’s come up with. The recordings themselves are just as interesting as the arrangements, incorporating both lo fi and hi fidelity at the same time. Be sure to catch them on July 28th at Spike Hill with… The Lighthearted (Boston), at 10pm. – Sam Kogon (@samkogon)
