It's incredible how true Jeremy is to the sunshine sound. Jeremy's super smooth falsettos immediately evoke the Curt Boettcher sound of the Millennium/Ballroom sessions or Sagittarius. Byrds-like jangling guitars and infectiously driving beats backs them up. Jeremy even hauls out the backwards guitar and sitars for Big Day Coming, which, if I'm not mistaken is an incredibly cheerful ode to Judgment Day.
Speaking of religion, Jeremy is on a Christian path and the lyrics reflect it in songs like Highway To Heaven, What God Wants, Heaven To Pay and Big Day Coming. This could be an issue for some listeners but fans of the sixties sounds that inspire Jeremy are probably used to the spiritual devotion that fueled so many classic albums. I didn't find it oppressive because Jeremy encases his message in the sweetest psychedelic sounds you're going to hear this side of the sixties.
I'd love to throw this on the car stereo some hot sunny day, head out on the interstate and just drive.
