Ola & Janglers were a groovy sixties sort of band that leaned more
toward pretty pop than the harder-edged psych or proto-rock
that started to blossom in the later part of the decade.
There's definitely a Beatles influence, as well as Simon & Garfunkel
and classic pop songwriting and arranging of the Brill
Building and Wrecking Crew sort and even a touch of Motown.
As a result most of these songs sound familiar, but in a good way.
They're all tuneful and toe-tapping and stretch to include interesting
sounds outside the standard rock band line-up: the electric harpsichord
on "Call Me Tomorrow", for example.
They're a band with a lot of great singles and it's a pleasure
to sneak them into our soundtrack club here.
