The Argonauts - Sixes and Sevens

I heard The Argonauts for the first time yesterday whilst checking out their My Space page. I don't know how, but I found myself beguiled by their song 'We've Got A Fire' - the trumpet lending the song a pop edge just when you've got it pinned as a dreamy alt country tune. I digress. Who are these Argonauts? They are a three piece band from that London that played their first gig at the tail end of 2006. 'Sixes and Sevens' was released in November 2007. That's a pretty fast turn around from taking your first steps on stage to getting an LP released. But having already heard a few songs on their my space I knew there was no chance that this would be a half finished or rushed affair. The sound the Argonauts have managed to craft is the finished article.By the wonders of the royal mail - their CD arrived this morning and I've already played it a couple of times today and it's becoming one of those records that could well become to the soundtrack to my spring. It sounds like sunshine pop music and the tunes are just so damn catchy. The Argonauts manage to marry beautiful melodies, pop sensibilities and just a hint of that 60s West Coast American sound - recalling The Tyde at their most pop to these ears. There is that definite late 60s feel to some of the songs that make up 'Sixes and Sevens' without being at all retro in it's sound. If you haven't guessed this is fast becoming something of an instant hit with me. Wonderful stuff.
You can buy the LP from digital download stores and also on Amazon.
