 Informationen zum Artikel:
Italian veteran '60s pop stylists The Kartoons, are back with an eight-track CD album. The album has been co-produced with Mania Records (Cosenza, Italy) and partially funded by the band themselves. Kartoons vocalist Francesco Ficco has at first hearing a rather fragile voice that sounds like it might be drowned if the decibels got too high. However, it is soon apparent that the music has been honed to exactly the right mix to allow Ficco's voice to ethereally float across it. The songs are delicate and melodic contrivances, many of which are most immediately conceptualised as Byrds-a-like jingle-jangle as recorded by a South American popsike band of 1967-'68. This is not to say they don't have a contemporary vibe as so much good pop (see the International Pop Overthrow review elsewhere this month) is referenced to this kind of approach. Undelivered is a relatively short album at 28 minutes and you need a few listens to really get inside it, but it's a creation of beauty and charm, full of whispy, plaintive vocals, and tuneful rhythms and hooks. 'Upside Down' is one of the albums harder edged numbers and employs a tasteful backward guitar section that doesn't outstay its welcome or try to be more than it is. Similarly, 'Can't Get The World' has a simple but effective riff that marries a melodic pop sensibility to a rockier foundation. 'Smile For Your Life' is a poppy, lilting, lemonade sipping piece of sunshine pop that will make you ache for Summer's return. If you have heard The Kartoons' Introducing album, you will immediately notice the transition from the more frenetic garage pop of that album to the more mid paced and melodic maturity on Undelivered. What on the surface sounds pretty straightforward and uncomplicated pop pays repeated listening; I'm still discovering new things in the songs each time I play them.
