Tim Ellisonのレヴュー読むと、Clapもそうだったな、と思い出した…
60年代と70年代をつなげるようなバンドですね。
Though they are somewhat less psychedelic in orientation, albums by the Milwaukee group Creme Soda and the Los Angeles group Clap are more interesting bridges between the ‘60s and the later explicit revival of ‘60s aesthetics.
As rock critic Greg Shaw noted in the original liner notes to their 1975 Tricky Zingers LP, Creme Soda made it seem like the whole phenomenon of American “garage bands” had never died out. With a mixture of simple R&R band arrangements and an eclectic stylistic range, Tricky Zingers is like taking a pre-psychedelic, 1966 sense of rock and roll as an expanding form and transplanting it into the middle of the ‘70s.
Though they had numerous musical directions, there is a simple, somewhat careless, fun-spirited aspect to the group that is at the core of the “garage” aesthetic. When Shaw made the claim in the liner notes that Creme Soda were “the freshest new sound of 1975,” it is surely to this that he was referring.
