The Resonars are the kind of band that magazines like Shindig! rave about, proponents of groovy '60s sounds like the Beatles-informed garage rocker "Tomorrow Gears," the surf rockin' "Invisible Gold" and early Who homage "The World is Wrong." "Expectations" is psych-tinged power pop with Keith Moon-style drumming and feedback-drenched guitar solos that stop just short of a freak out. And so goes the rest of the very tasty set list.

Rendon definitely knows the garage/psych era he's mining here; anyone who likes the Nuggets compilations should have Crummy Desert Sound right alongside. Even better, this is a vinyl release so you can listen in style.
