You are my Face= Hello Sunshine by Relatively Clean Rivers


Recommended Posts

Just got this album a few days ago. And while listenting couldnt help but notice the similarties between this track and You ARE MY FACE. The only real difference is the jam isnt as loud. But the tracks are very similar. Anyone else notice this? The melodies are even preety dead on.

They're really close, yeah. I checked out the RCR record after reading Tweedy's interview (awesome disc, by the way, if anybody hasn't heard it and is thinking about giving it a listen), and it jumped out at me right away. They aren't identical or anything, but "Hello Sunshine" definitely sounds like some kind of "You Are My Face" blueprint.

i think el tweedo deserves credit for owning up to this one. he could easily have keep quiet and who'd've known? it is really obscure. anyone who came across it and noticed would've just thought 'what are the chances it's not just a coincidence?'

 

i wonder if the title influenced super furry animals on their (excellent) track 'hello sunshine'. though i seem to remember noticing a reggae or dub track also with that title from the 70s... peter tosh or someone?

 

i've been enjoying relatively clean rivers. very summery. very laid-back. very 70s.

Thanks for posting, calibeer. I don't get the connection - but I've always wanted to check out this record.

 

Wow! This RCR is top notch. See a definite influence between the 2 songs, wouldn't say they sound exactly alike or maybe my untrained ear just doesn't hear it. Hello Sunshine as an I Know You Rider influence as well.

I know quite a few bands/artists like this. For starters try out Nick Garrie.

 

Here is an mp3 of the first track on his only proper album (at least I think it's his only album - it only got released in France for some reason, when it first came out, too): The Nightmare Of J. B. Stanislas

 

If anyone enjoys that, I've got quite a few recommendations, but don't wanna spend time uploading etc... if people aren't too interested.

i'll bite. maybe a little less orchestra. still like the clean rivers stuff more but always up for new tunes. any lists or sites that might cover 'obscure' late 60's early 70's stuff like these 2 would be nice. i'm off to allmusic.com.

 

thanks,

 

Brian
