Hip Whips - s/t (Dubious/s56/Warner)
This is normally the kind of stuff I despise. When a band so achingly tries to recreate the sounds of yesteryear, classic soul in this case, it usually just makes me angry. Why not just form a cover band if you're not going to add anything new to the genre? Anyhow, this keyboard, bass & drums trio isn't so bad. You can tell they've taken pains to sound "authentic" with the classic organ sounds and recording style, but they really should be paying more attention to their songwriting. Cool tones and whatever, but enough hooks or dynamics. Probably a lot more fun live than on record.
