Chicago indie rockers Faux Co. are heavily influenced by jangling psychedelic Sixties West Coast Pop. Their debut full-length Radio Silence covers all the bases and more - Nineties college rock wiggled in its way as well. Set The Record Straight is slightly ahead of the competition, with its smart use of saxophones and trumpet.
This all killer no-filler release by a band that puts melody first, with an in-the-pocket rhythm section riding shotgun. The old school rock 'n' roll ballad Oh, Mother Night should be released on a 7" and claim its rightful place in a carefully restored jukebox.
