Release Notes:
Maple Mars returns with their 4th and most exploratory, ambitious and satisfying
record yet. A dash of Pink Floyd, a sprinkle of Cheap Trick, some Jellyfish on
the side, and a big dollop of the Beatles best describes them. His layered
bright power pop sounds are married to strong songwriting. For all of the gloss
and flash and pristine harmonies, many of Hromadka`s songs have real emotional
weight. So it`s not just about catchy hooks as there are real feelings coming
from almost every track. They make the studio a gigantic canvas, layering on
guitars, backing vocals and keyboards in equal measure with the numerous catchy
bits. This is retro-futuristic guitar rock! - Hablo Ennui blog.
Galaxyland, (revolves around) a loose concept album about a theme park orbiting
the moon. It`s kind of fitting since their music has always had a space-age pop
element, drawing from Klaatu and ELO as well as the Beatles and Badfinger.
There`s plenty to like here: The Excursion is top-drawer psych pop, Big
Imagination channels the laid-back 70s SoCal sound, Transcendental Guidance
is another of those tracks that sounds like its title, and the string-laden
When Bridges Fall recalls Cloud Eleven. A real highlight is the resurrection
of New Day, a minor early 70s hit for Mark Radice. - Absolute Power Pop blog.
Rick Hromadka, who more or less is Maple Mars, writes sway-inducing tunes and
he`s not afraid to let rip with some heavy duty guitar sounds - which is where
his approach differs from most of the L.A. pack. And don`t forget the sweet
harmonies! Hromadka (formally of LA pop icons Double Naught Spies) fronts this
psychedelic rock outfit. His layered bright power pop sounds are married to
strong songwriting. For all of the gloss and flash and pristine harmonies, many
of Hromadka`s songs have real emotional weight. So it`s not just about catchy
hooks as there are real feelings coming from almost every track. They make the
studio a gigantic canvas, layering on guitars, backing vocals and keyboards in
equal measure with the numerous catchy bits. This is retro-futuristic guitar
rock! Their sound is all wrapped up in productional sophistication, and rocking
little tunes full of Jellyfishin` Beatle references. - Amazon.com
