Holiday Flyer
Try
Not To Worry
14-song CD (SG-021)
Rainbow Confection
12-song CD (SG-030)
Try
Not Worry:
Fourteen songs of love and friendship played in the most optimistic style
of guitar strumming, bass picking, cello gliding, and drum whisking possible.
The vocals will sweep you up and carry you off to distant lands where
smiles win wars, and tenderness is rewarded in Olympic events. Stunning
in its sincere beauty
Rainbow
Confection:
Holiday Flyer’s
extensive releases have been gobbled up by fans of micro-label pop for
the past few years since they began recording a string of self-released
cassettes. This Sacramento, CA -based trio of siblings John and Katie
Conley, and Verna Brock (formerly of Slumberland recording artists Rocketship,
and her solo project Beanpole ) have now made available their second album
of emotionally-charged, intensely personal and wildly enigmatic songs.
As with their debut album, Try Not To Worry, The Rainbow Confection was
recorded at Sacramento’s Enharmonik Studios, the home of Heckler
Magazine, Tinfed-member and producer extraordinaire Eric Stenman and a
legacy of recorded output by the likes of Vomit Launch. Recorded and mixed
inside a few days of studio time, The Rainbow Confection catapults Holiday
Flyer into an other-worldy dimension of pop song craft and story telling.
The addition of flute, piano and trombone to their latest batch of songs
creates a tenderness even Try Not to Worry didn’t yield.
Here’s
some quotes to prove we are not alone in our admiration and respect for
Holiday Flyer’s craft:
Alternative Press - “Simply put, a stunning, glorious record.”
Caught In Flux - “Comforting like a cup of hot chocolate...on a
drizzly weekend morning.”
Copacetic - “It has been a long time since a band has captured my
heart like they have with their beautiful melodies and elegant songs.”
Giant Robot - “A solid album filled with pop classics.”
Heckler - “One of the coolest most original musical outfits I’ve
seen.”
Impact - “If there is such a thing as a masterpiece in music, this
album has attained such a title.”
Ink 19 - “Absolutely unbelievably perfect in every way.”
Pop Watch - “...cleansed of irrelevant electricity and textures
so they can stand with sad pride in the inaudible shadows of Veronica
Lake and Blueboy.”
Spank - “Is it legal for people to make records so carefully filled
with such gorgeous, melodic songs that are smothered with enough love
to make the world go ‘round?”
