Adam Payne - Organ

2009 release from the Power Pop wunderkind. Were you one of those kids who was distraught after discovering Black Flag was more influenced by ZZ Top and the Grateful Dead than the MC5 or Stooges? Well, you might wanna strap on a stronger carabineer before scaling these cliffs because you're more likely to discover Pop gems than a stoned mystic in a cave. Organ is an anthem of Southern California patriotism with all the thrills of dragging in Lodi and peyote-munched soul-wandering in Silver Lake. This album is Power Pop perfection, the Paisley Underground finally done right.
