Product Description
The Word
Replica Sun Machine is a revanchist's dream, a sun-kissed missive from psych-pop's golden age..their way with a tune is undeniable and when they hit the spot (the gorgeous Yesterdays To Come or the Flaming Lips-gone-glam euphoria of Now Til '69), the effect is cathartic


Description
'Replica Sun Machine' is the second album from South Londonelectronica-influenced indie pop band The Shortwave Set. Aswell as furthering the band's unique sound, this release isproduced by Danger Mouse, influential producer and one halfof Gnarls Barkley. To add to the already stellar list of personnel, string arrangements on the album were overseen by Van Dyke Parks (having previously worked with Brian Wilson on'Pet Sounds', among many others) and John Cale of The Velvet Undergrouund can be heard playing viola. Musically, 'Replica Sun Machine' expands on the sample-led songs of their debut ('The Debt Collection') with a twenty-four piece orchestra and various instrumental augmentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack to my summer, 14 May 2008
By G. Thomas (Canterbury UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After their magnificent and defining first album I have waited for this second release with excitement and trepidation in equal measure.
The Shortwave Set have definately moved on musically and production-wise but have certainly not sacrificed their unique sound which still lives at the heart of each and every track.
Replica Sun Machine is slightly less "hurdy-gurdy" than "The Debt Collection" and for me has a distinct flavour of psychedelia about it. As I listen to it I keep visualising outdoor festivals, flowery dresses and relaxing on scorching hot sunny days while watching the clouds drift by. At times I'm very much reminded of the "The Mamas and the Papas"
I love the new fuller sound, it compliments the songs without becoming intrusive or overbearing. Some of the songs have more layers than a large onion.

Each track delights equally and I'm only too happy to leave the whole album on repeat without getting tired of even one second of it. The more you listen the more beautiful it becomes and it's destined to become the soundtrack to my summer .....plus I just discovered in July they're going to be performing in a cow-shed less than 1/4 mile from my front door
Life just keeps on getting better.

May I be so bold as to say "well done" and a big "thank you" to all involved ?
