Artist description Stunning solo outing from Joe Giddings, formerly of Star Collector! For fans of lusciously layered and tasty vocals (think Jellyfish, Queen and Pilot), highly textured guitars and supreme poptopia! The JTG Implosion blow onto the scene with a melodic and smoldering feast of bobble-head riffs and 'la-la-la' choruses and construct vivid and astonishingly imaginative arrangements that fans of Jellyfish will recognize as bittersweet territory. Sparkle-ly, thought-provoking melodies hang-out alongside pristine harmonics as capable hand-claps, brilliant inflected guitar lines and long lasting songs make for one of 2003's most remarkable indie power pop outings. Listen to the distinctive melodies and vocals with the sound clips presented here. The proof is this sweet and tasty pudding. Make sure you check Giddings' previous bands 1999 release, Star Collector, a long time favorite here at Not Lame.
