Fool. That’s a band name I can get behind. It’s simple, not too ornate…it just seems like it would look good on a poster, you know? But maybe I’m fixating on the wrong thing, because it turns out these guys are every bit as good at making music as they are naming bands. Fool’s debut is psychedelic in a way that said descriptor isn’t used all too often now. It isn’t grimy, it isn’t fuzzy, it isn’t a bit salty from all the surf that frequently gets mixed in, but is instead more akin to The Zombies, Love, or—take note, as this is the one-in-a-hundred time I use this comparison as a good thing—The Grateful Dead. Whatever it is, really, it’s one of the more unique releases from Nashville in a while. –Austin Phy
