Review[]
And so begins the era of http://myspace.com/ band promotion… The Merediths, a five piece out of Louisville, KY have gained a lot of attention from the internet stalking-lite service. On A Closed Universe, the self-producing and self-engineering band are paying an homage to the psychedelic pop pioneers of what I am sure makes up most of their cd collection. And to tell you the truth, their layered pop compositions do the genre well. They even scrape together a few classic rock (see guitar solo in 'Right There') and country/folk (an abudance of slide guitar on 'Homo Erectus') on a few of the tracks. Much in the same way Dios Malos writes songs, The Merediths bounce out 5 pop-tacular tracks here on their first somewhat major release. I can also hear a lot of similarities to the indie twang of bands like The Shins. I think it is time for the country to experience what Louisville has been keeping secret. Michael Ardaiolo
