"Spygenius - an electric 4 piece band who use a 60s vocabulary to craft 21st century music with a postmodern twist."
If you appreciate the jangle-meistering of the Byrds and Beatles, the harmonies of Crosby, Stills and Nash and the lyrical wit of Robyn Hitchcock, you'll love Spygenius...
'How do you sum up this electric four piece from London and the Kent coast? Music for a Socratic disco? Jacques Brel translated by Eric Morcambe?
With uplifting harmonies carrying lyrics that tell of life in all its painful, hilarious complexity; spun about with chords and rhythms you didn't think could dance together, but once played, can never be separated again. Well, actually, that's their trick: true originality with instant accessibility, sublime songs you've not heard before but, at the back of your subconscious, you knew had to be out there somewhere. Want it simpler than that? All right guitar based pop music for anyone of any age who loves a real tune and lyrics with humour, feeling and truth.'
