After all these years, it's safe to say my favorite era of music ran from 1978 to 1985. That period saw prodigious talent flourishing in the Post Punk movement, & to some, (myself included) much of it remains eternal.Contemporaneously, a band that's capable of bottling such lightning is Famous Mammals from the Bay Area. 'It Was A Pleasant Modern Fantasy' is their 3rd long player (2nd time on the mordant Siltbreeze imprint) & it shows a group who know how to crack the curves into orbit. In a sweeping encapsulation,IWAPMF is akin to walking through a tabernacle where the shutters are thrown open & the melange of pastoral scents such as jasmine, honeysuckle & gardenia envelop the ponderous pop & sonic otherness wafting off this lp. Glints of Normil Hawaiians, Blue Orchids, Mekons & Television Personalities flicker like embers from the past, smoldering gloriously in the present. Sure, all construction comes from a blueprint, yet the upholstery is 100% Famous Mammals. And 'It Was A Pleasant Modern Fantasy' is a magnificent achievement, soaring high in the canon of the modern underground. And I should know. I am an expert.
