The Aislers Set - "Friends Of The Heroes"

The Aislers Set - "Friends Of The Heroes": "I've been listening to the Aislers Set for years now, but I never cease to amaze at their musical alchemy - or, rather Amy Linton's, since most of the first record is played entirely by Amy alone. She was able to somehow capture 60s girl group harmonies and Phil Spector walls of sound that sound native to that time period, while still imbuing the songs with melodies and melancholy that surpass most of the music of that genre. How Amy was able to do this alone is still a mystery to me, but the whole album (Terrible Things Happen) is evidence of her magic, from start to finish."
