Details:
"Woo-hoo! This is a great record, and you know I don''t say that often. A heavy Beatles influence is evident (if singer/guitarist Steve Rouach ain''t a Brit, he wishes he was), but Rouach''s arresting, surreal lyrics ("Carnival horses...wishing for sugar/they can''t eat with plastic heads"); the band''s fresh, often surprising arrangements; and a palpable swagger in the performances and recording, rescues Imaginary bill from the ranks of mere retro posers. This is the real deal, kids! Hard for me to pick a fave from a dozen winners, but that''s what they don''t pay me for, so I''ll toss out "Clark Kent," "Wash," "Bottom Feeder," the aforequoted "Pantomime Horses" and "About Her Toupee" - how''s that, boys? The only thing more surprising than the quality of this record is the number of gigs this ostensibly Brooklyn-based band play on Long Island; makes me wonder if I should give the suburban wasteland a second chance...nahh. Fans of Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, Elvis Costello, Blur, the Wannadies, etc. should take special note of a special band." -Demo Universe (August 2001)
