4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely surreal and dreamy., October 16, 2006

This review is from: Palm Wine Sunday Blue (Audio CD)

Very retro- sounding throughout and as you listen you are reminded of just so many timeless British artists/bands. There are distinct shades of David McWilliams "Days Of Pearly Spencer" and 1967 'Beatles' era. Scott Walkers influence is to be found on the title track (maybe?) Vocals on "Wildly Polite" reminds me of Reg Presley from "The Troggs". "Bag Of Rice"/"Dumbox" have that Pink Floyd (during Syd Barratts era) touch to it.
Most youngsters who read this review won't know who the hell i'm referring to but the legends live on through talented musicians like Eric Lichter.
I really LOVE the cover as well which conveys a cozy,lazy Sunday in London. I can relate to this feeling very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Games, April 22, 2002

This review is from: Palm Wine Sunday Blue (Audio CD)

This is the first solo from Eric Lichter of Seattle's proto-legendary Green Pajamas. The album is a beautiful, often surreal, always original experience. A couple of these songs (for example, "Wildly Polite," "Bag of Rice") are so gorgeously gentle, the gut-deep emotional punch only creeps up on you after a couple of listens. One or two - like the wild, weird "Papa Quayle" - are distinctive to the point of oddity. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But most of the album is simply great songwriting, brief rock-and-pop ballads with golden hooks and a slightly skewed point of view. Halfway through the painful, hilarious "Hayley Mills" you'll be reliving your childhood crush on the girl with the "sad, funny British lips," and singing along with the angst. Lichter is a startling talent, to say the least. I loved this CD, it only gets better each time I hear it. I just wish it included a lyric sheet! But deciphering Lichter's mind games is half the fun.
