One day the US will learn to spell correctly, but whilst they're learning they are getting rather good at knocking out fuzzed-up and noised-out indie-pop like this. Just like the more celebrated Vivian Girls, San Francisco's Brilliant Colors are a lo-fi, all-girl affair with punkish flecks and just like the Vivian Girls' Everything Goes Wrong and eponymous debut, Brilliant Colors seem to know a thing or two about the jangling C86 revival. In truth, they've probably missed its peak, but there is no harm is trying.
Guitarist and vocalist Jess Scott buzzes along enthusiastically, her heart firmly in Veronica Falls-type indie-pop and her head in Shop Assistants-type nostalgia. Echo-y backing "oohs" and "ahs" sweeten Introducing to taste and "Absolutely Anything" is note-for-note and yearningly familiar. "Mythic" demonstrates with its cutesy yelps and garage-y hooks why there is such current interest in The Plasticines, aside from their being French and eyebrow-raisingly leggy.
Clocking in at 24 minutes in total, Introducing can't fail to outstay its welcome and doesn't with nonchalance. The problem though in sounding effortless is the fine line between it and the plain lazy. Whilst comfortably on the right side of the line, the ubiquitous feedback and fuzz of Introducing nevertheless seems to lack sufficient bite to convince many beyond the already converted.

Modettes, Dolly Mixture, and Delta 5 fans listen up!

I'm not certain that Brilliant Colors even know of bands like the Modettes or Dolly Mixture but if you were/are a fan of either of those groups, I think you should check this out. Living in the UK from 77-80, and being a fan of the John Peel radio show I was fortunate to hear much of the UK indie music of the time. Yeah, I've got a kick ass 45 collection from that period as well as great memories of the shows in Cambridge and London. Curious folks who don't know what I'm on about I'd suggest you buy the Brilliant Colors CD and check out Modettes, Dolly Mixture, Dangerous Girls, Delta 5, and Slits. It's just a starter kit.

This album contains a few tracks that are pretty infectious. Even though I live in a large metropolitan area I was not able to find this CD. I love lo-fi, garage, girl group pop. This is exactly that. Listen to the track Absolutely Anything, simple weird lyrics, draws you in!
