Back in 80`s , Marc Jeffrey
was the leader (singer + guitarist) of New York`s BAND OF OUTSIDERS, a
group that never became well known (even in the underground circuit )
and earned some middling only sympathy from ones explored the american
post punk situation and the psych revivalism of that era . Band Of Outsiders
disbanded before the turn of new decade, leaving behind them few LP`s /
EP`s and a collaboration with CERTAIN GENERAL ( amazing 80`s NY post
no-wave band). Afterwards Marc released "PLAYTIME", an old fashioned psych-folk-art-pop gem, superior than the previous works, but unfortunately, same fated with them.
Its
excellent 60`s-influenced songsmithness places "PLAYTIME" near the most
loving works of psych archetypes like LOVE , SPIRIT, etc. Nevertheless
the inspiration and the whole artistic atmosphere leave no doubts about
the originality of this work. As if predating the lo-fi attidute of 90's
"PLAYTIME" hides its brilliance under a very modest sound profile...
and it definitely worths discovering.
