Press Review | Sofamecca
The 21st century thinking person's record collection is a place where eclectic outfits go to hang. You should expect, at the very least, sounds from Mercury Rev and Doves, maybe even vet janglers the Church. Homegrown dabblers Sofa Mecca are down with this - from the Deserter's Songs-like opening of their debut album and onwards, through tracks that shimmer like missing cuts from Doves' Lost Souls, there's a very knowing, jarringly familiar quality to this lush, darkly romantic set. Jason Gann's fragile, otherwordly vocals sound a la Jonathan Donahue or Steve Kilbey, like they're beamed in from Alpha Centauri, and the band has a steady grasp on where ambience ends and real late-night, bruised-hearted atmosphere begins...
