Album Review

Broadfield Marchers
The Inevitable Continuing Rainbow Quartz

Article written by Ged M - Oct 9, 2008

Brothers Mark and Dustin Zdobylak from Louisville, Kentucky are clearly immersed in the work of bands like Guided By Voices, REM and the Shins judging by their album of melodic, guitar-based power-pop. There are 19 songs and if you listen to more than a few it soon becomes clear that there’s little divergence from formula. However, a number still stand out: ‘Raul’ is a feast if you’re hungry for guitars, with its choppy Television-style solo, and ‘Sad Earth Maze’ sounds like a lo-fi, high quality Shins song while the ultra-melodic ‘Following Lines’ is chock-full of shimmering and jangly guitars and ‘Eagles Prevail’ has a mildly psychedelic buzz. Clearly fans of the power-pop genre, this album is literally a labour of love, hitting one or two bulls-eyes in the process.
