Album Review


The Dials:
Companions of the Rosy Hours Gear Discs

Article written by Ged M

The Dials: Companions of the Rosy Hours
The Dials: Companions of the Rosy Hours
The Dials are a Brighton band mixing up the influences - country, blues, folk and psychedelia, with a hefty dose of Americana. ‘Good Morning Mr Magpie’ might be early Pink Floyd in its trippy majesty while ‘N.Y. Radio’ is clearly early Dire Straits. The effect of their influences suggests that they probably translate better live than on record but there are some tunes that are more than the sum of their influences: the Byrds-like jangle of ‘Watch Her Walk Away’ and ‘Sandycove’, the sort of surf-rock instrumental that Tarentino used to snap up for soundtracks. So it’s inspired, but with affection.
