Editor's review
The New Norwegian Partridge Family Award goes to…the Jessica Fletchers! This Norse quintet captures the febrile humidity of the Athens, Ga., pop scene and infuses it with chilly Scandinavian garage-rock noise. The resulting music sounds like a gospel revival taking place on the set of a children's TV show, complete with matching outfits and dancing bears. These young soul rebels are out to rekindle your youth.
Biography
The Jessica Fletchers are: Thomas Innstø (lead vocals & guitars), Mads Innstø (keyboards), Jan Henning Sørensen (drums), Andreas Mastrup (bass) and Rune Somdal (lead guitar).
Having toured with Swedish heavyweights The Hives, and American indie-psych-pop faves the Apples in Stereo, Oslo based Jessica Fletchers are now set to storm the North American pop scene with their great new record, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE?
Trafficking in a lysergic blend of non-linear jangle and harmony with splashes of very cool organ and keyboards, and as with most Rainbow Quartz bands, the Jessica Fletchers are able to make refreshing sense of the ‘60s sound. The result is an amalgam of such sounds as Kinks / Buzzcocks / early Bowie. The albums lead-off track "Bloody 70's Love" sounds like The Mamas and The Papas and Syd Barrett backed by Bill Nelson armed with his ebow.
