Mastered for Vinyl by Joe Lizzi and Cut and Pressed at Third Man in Detroit!A dapper departure from Lilys noise and shoegaze beginnings, 1999s The 3 Way is a panoply of musical influences that renders vintage 1960s mod rock and buttoned-up orchestral pop through the abstract expressionism of Kurt Heasley and company. At the end of the rock n roll century, The 3 Way quietly streaked across the night sky in stylistic retrograde. Lilys bittersweet mod-rock symphony would burn out band members and get buried by its record label, leaving trace memories of Heasleys brilliant and complicated vision. Until now! Mastered for vinyl by Joe Lizzi and cut and pressed at Third Man in Detroit.Although some critics accuse him of stealing Ray Davies identity outright, Heasley has forged his own multifaceted re-tailoring of 60s mod- rock. And sure, Davies influence looms large over songs like the harpsichord- laced And One (on One) and The Spirits Merchant. And on The Generator, theres some nice piano work worthy of Charlie Browns ivory-tickling pal Schroeder, and some cheeky Oye Como Va, guitar quotes. To round things out, theres a nod to Mitch Ryders revved- up Motor City car- rock on Dimes Make Dollars, and the bubbly Lawrence Welk jazz of Solar is Here.’ Michael Sandlin (from his 8.6 on Pitchfork)
