Psychedelic Pop From Brighton, UK; The Dials - The End Of The Pier 2013 (Gear Disc)

Brighton-based rockers the Dials began honing their blend of psychedelic indie rock in the early 2000s. Nodding to artists like Love, the Byrds, the Faces, and Syd Barrett (just to name a few) with their jangly, trippy, harpsichord-rich pop songs, the Dials released their self-titled debut in 2007. (Margaret Reges, allmusic.com)

Here some reviews about their other releases:

"The Dials’ self titled debut, released a couple of years back, was a sprawling mass of head-shrivelling psych and sonic exploration tempered by cosmic acoustic balladry. It paid tribute to the likes of Pink Floyd and the Beatles’ more magically mysterious forays. It was a vast melting pot of sounds and ideas but its lengthy running time ultimately proved draining rather than absorbing.
"It’s a tightly focused burst of strange energy that still manages to roam all over the sonic landscape, taking in surf instrumentals given gothic organ backing (opener Sandycove), falling-into-your-own-head Syd Barrett dreamscapes (Good Morning Mr Magpie) and rather straight-faced country ballads delivered in narcoleptic baritones (Blue Pine Yodel). The Dials are as energetically explorative as ever in their music and this energy proves far more intense crammed into so tight as juicy a package as this." (Maverick)

"Companions of the Rosy Hours: Confident pop-rock of impeccable influences"
"In possession of a slew of great ’60s records with well-thumbed sleeves, Brighton’s Dials are rarely shy when it comes to acknowledging their sources. This second album glides effortlessly between the harmonic swoon of The Byrds (“Watch Her Walk Away”), the poppier elements of the Velvets (the Farfisa stab of “NY Radio”) and the child-like psych of Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd (“Good Morning Mr Magpie”). All are despatched with brio and genuine affection for every genre that crosses their radar" Terry Staunton, Uncut

All this fits also to the ''The End Of The Pier''. Wonderful psychedelic pop. Highly recommended. Enjoy.(Frank)
