Gooey Cookie Gimme the Goo cassette
This is one of the more convincing power pop EPs in years, very much in the ’90s style of the genre. I won’t name the references as they’re self-evident, but needless to say, this three-piece from Denver (a city that seems to know its power pop in recent years) knows what they’re doing and oozes with confidence. The melodies are soaring and the sound has a lot of weight to it, bringing plenty in the grit department. I was always a huge fan of the singular BUGG full-length, and this scratches a similar itch. It’s cool and good. What else is there to say?
