Rosemarys Review by Kenyon Hopkin
The jangly and echoing guitars on The Rosemarys produce a joyous kaleidoscopic atmosphere, yet, via the lyrics, everything is heartbroken. Songs are devoted to girls ("Dizzy Girl," "Catherine," "Dear Margaret") and thoughts of floating above the clouds ("Spaceman," "Higher"), all of which are deceivingly optimistic thanks to the soft vocals of Tim O. The true uplifting highlights belong to "Sparkle," with backing vocals by Sonya Waters (a deadringer for Kate Bush) and "Spaceman," which grooves with a bouncey bassline. Quite simply, this is prototypical dream pop that will appease most of its adherents.

Saw them live back in 1993, really good. Providence is still they're better album but Sparkle, Dear Margaret, and Saccharin are some of my favs on this disc.
