The Neighbourhood Strange, Oddcuts & Rarities

Oddcuts and Rarities is the latest release from Salisbury's sons of psychedelia The Neighbourhood Strange, and it's flipping great. With three fabulous 7'' vinyl singles under their belts The Neighbourhood Strange have yet to release an album; having seen them perform live several times, and knowing they definitely have the material, that's a crime if you ask me. The release of Oddcuts and Rarities goes some ways to putting that right, consummate musicians skilled at their craft, what you have here are eight tracks of top quality modernist psychedelia with a garage aesthetic, all performed with the Strange's trade mark energy and panache. I can't recommend this album or the band highly enough. If this is what they describe as 'a collection of out takes and demos' just imagine how good a The Neighbourhood Strange Album would be. Vinyl release of course, no pressure.
