Those Pretty Wrongs from the album Zed for Zulu available on Burger Records (by Bryant Liggett)
Their collective resume screams Indie Rock before style was a genre, Luther Russell fronting The Freewheelers out of Los Angeles, Jody Stephens drumming for Big Star and a major player at Memphis’ Ardent Studios. The pair coming together forming Those Pretty Wrongs with the recent debut Zed for Zulu exploring Indie Folk, Rock’n’Roll, and Psychedelic ballads. “Ain’t Nobody but Me” could be an REM outtake from their early releases before the hits starting stacking up, pulled from the Life’s Rich Pageant playbook ripe with guitar jangle and screaming Athens, Georgia circa 1980. “Hurricane of Love” has Prog Rock tendencies, a psychedelic ballad from a fusion band that never takes off on an instrumental explosive tear, leaving the sound as a beautiful, stand-alone, Folk tune.
“You and Me” begins with the line ‘the sea looks wrinkled, torn and split, the sun casts shadows over it, the harvest moon has come and gone, and the birds forget to sing their song’, a perfect nod to Yes, but what follows is a song out of The Byrds’ playbook. “A Day in The Park” is a dreamy acoustic cut and “Undertow” has a piano bounce along with a melody hook that will plant itself in the center of your head. Released on Burger Records, this may seem out of place with their roster, but Those Pretty Wrongs a solid curveball to keep the label’s fans on their music loving toes. (by Bryant Liggett)
