Memory Of The Never Happened
About This Album
Rockfour continue to offer quality psychedelically colored guitar pop/rock on Memories of the Never Happened, though it's not of the sort that outdistances either what they've done before or what the best such 21st century bands have achieved in the style. They're adept at muscular rock that jams in a bunch of unconventional chord and tempo changes, as well as overlays of Mellotron and wiggly late-'60s Pretty Things-type distorted guitars. More appealing, however, are the less busy and more reflective tracks, which attain the fragile, stately air of the folkier items by psychedelic/early progressive bands like Pink Floyd (an audible reference, though not a dictatorial one). They're also capable of more somber tunes than most such bands muster, like "Old Village House," though generally more energetic tunes with ringing guitars rule the day. But the opening instrumental, an almost orchestral wash of soaring guitars titled "Glued," does seem rather unnecessary. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
