Invisible Lead Soup EP
self-released


Article written by Ged M
Feb 12, 2005.

If Austin Powers can do it, why not Invisible Lead Soup? Accidentally wandering into a freezer in 1966, disoriented by what they’d smoked round at the Small Faces’ pad that night, this five-piece sharp-suited pop band thaw out thirty years later but it’s still the Swingin’ 60s and the Speakeasy for them. They’ve obviously been hanging out with Ray Davies and Colin Blunstone as the Kinks and Zombies influences are prominent. ‘See Though Me’ is a charming piece of organ-driven, jangly frothy pop. ‘Pictures of Liza’ is slower and jazz-inflected, with a brilliant ‘la-la-la-Liza Minelli’ climax. Best of all is the classic English whimsy of ‘Tea in the Garden’ where Ray Davies sits on a toadstool and conjures up characters from Alice in Wonderland, before a phased-guitar psych ending reveals just what was in the tea. In short, three glorious pop nuggets, available from the website or Rough Trade shop (Talbot Road).

Next release, Invisible Lead Soup discover cravats and LSD and grow their hair just slightly over their ears…
