Review: The Rembrandts – Via Satellite

Back together with their first new songs since 2001, The Rembrandts don’t sound a day older, probably because their brand of American college rock is essentially timeless. Opener How Far Would You Go offers the jangling guitar pop once perfected by Tom Petty, and Off To The Edge’s acoustic opening underlines their kinship to Crowded House. Come To Californ-i-yay meanwhile sounds like Big Star doing The Beatles, and Me And Fate sticks purely with the latter, adding harmonica for some affectionate Love Me Do flashbacks.

6/10
