The Like could quite possibly be one of the best 60’s bands there never was. Their latest record Release Me is a brimmy with cheerful, inoffensive well-crafted, catchy songs of the 60’s pop variety with more vocal harmonies, “Ooos” and “Ahhhs” than you can shake a stick at.
This certainly won’t be boldy breaking new musical boundaries as the LA girls have for all intense and puropse made a record with a real retro vibe, yet not at one time does it feel old, stale or tired. It sounds very much like what you’d imagine 60’s music to sound like (if that’s not too confusing) and is likely down to producer Mark Ronson’s knack for getting this sound spot on a la Amy Winehouse or Candie Payne.
Cheery times.
