Desoto Reds
Hanglide Thru Yer Window
Floating Man
2004
Rating: 6.5 sugar gliders out of 10
Desoto Reds are more screwball, Elephant 6-inspired pop from here in the Bay Area, but it’s tough not to like this. The level of whimsy involved in this record probably surpasses even old Of Montreal, and it does verge on crossing the line into “annoying” a time or two, but it never actually gets there. The whole record has a very summery feel, and it’s somewhat interesting that anything like this could come out of the monotonic climate that is their home. Nonetheless, it’s a decent, catchy listen that makes me wish I had a convertible and some warm weather in which to properly listen to this album.
