Next up is Reefus Moons AKA Ross Saxty, one man band, English eccentric and seasoned purveyor of pop music for the mind. Musically and lyrically, Reefus is in the tradition of The Soft Boys/Robin Hitchcock and Syd Barrett. 'The Word Raven', a limited edition LP released in 1991 on Insect Eye Records, contains 10 tracks of finely crafted guitar-driven psych-pop that are a vehicle for Reefus' unique and surreal worldview. Flocks of tractors, life through the eyes of a raven, what if Jesus had been a reptile, tales of gnomes and insects; it's all here.
I've mentioned Robin Hitchcock once, and I'd better mention him again - the influence really is very strong. Reefus' voice is a dead ringer for The Soft Boys frontman, and most songs sound for all the world like lost tracks from 'I Often Dream Of Trains' or 'Black Snake Diamond Role'. And that's no bad thing if you ask me. If whimsical and very English psych-pop is your thing, then you'll certainly find something to like here.
