Indie Spotlight: The Green Pajamas

Wow, been so long since I've posted. Recent Disney World vacation and work have kept me pretty busy. Anyway, time for a new post, once again courtesy of the folks at ParasolPoison In The Russian Room is the latest release by Seattle combo The Green Pajamas, a conceptual piece split into two distinct parts. This is their seventh release for Hidden Agenda Records, seven among several dozen official releases since their inception in the mid 80s. While The Green Pajamas’ trademark psychedelia has gone through many moon phases (both gibbous and crescent) on the last 25 years, here in 2009 the band might rock harder than ever (they’re from Seattle after all, grunge finds a way), but also invert all expectations with a Pentangle-influenced acid-folkiness that will charm and enchant. Any Way The Wind Blows is the perfect idnie track to get you ready for the spring. I love the male and female vocal harmonies and subtle guitar distortion and effects in the background. Makes me want to get back on the air at the beach.
