it's the most driving and concise lp from the band so far..... glam inspired garage punk fun...... plenty of fuzz, melody and psych burnt edges....... i wasn't such a big fan of their last lp FANTASTIC EXPLANATIONS, but CHEAP TIME has alway been one of my favorite live bands....so i knew that WALLPAPER would be an album worth checking out....
and i certainly can't stop listening to it.... pop damaged glam sparkled psych bent songs that are layered with all sorts of analog goodness.... many a garage band these days just rushes through the recording process and gives us what sort of sounds like just a live take....but CHEAP TIME definitely spent some time crafting WALLPAPER MUSIC, it might just be the most epic garage rock album of the year......
and aside from just being catchy and fun, jeffrey novak of cheap time is probably one of the best garage rock songwriters out there.... in the ranks of jay reatard and john dwyer of the oh sees........
fans of DIRTBOMBS, OBLIVIANS, TY SEGALL, NOBUNNY and NATURAL CHILD need to go out and grab this new CHEAP TIME lp now..........as classic as the new york dolls and johnny thunders...... highly recommended!
