A review.

E.T.R. (Electric 3rd R-Word) has received its first review. It is a modest three-stars-out-of-five response. He's right on about two of those influences.

Spencer Owen,"E.T.R. (Electric 3rd R-Word)" (Ballbearings Pinatas)
Trippy, mellow pop songs recorded in Owen’s apartment over a three month period in the fall of 2005. The combination of a cheesy organ synthesizer and a melodica gives these songs an almost dreamlike quality at times. As far as influences go I would have to guess that there’s a bit of McCartney, Moby, Elvis Costello and maybe a little Pink Floyd as well. If these are not his influences they’re what I hear when I listen to him for whatever that may be worth. For fans of mellow pop songs.

You can also find brief reviews of Lover Boy by Ariel Pink and from u.s. to i, the bbp compilation featuring AP, Goodbye the Band, and the rest of the bbp army including myself.

Thanks for listening to my record, J.R.! E.T.R. may yet be reviewed again somewhere else someday.
