Listening to…

Jigsaw Seen, Winterland.
Jigsaw Seen’s been around for a while and hasn’t changed with the fashions, and it’s just great to hear a band that sounds like themselves and nobody else. Oh, there are allusions to say, The Hollies or a lot of power pop pioneers, but nothing which demands a comparison note. Jigsaw Seen brims over with confidence, creativity and intelligence. They sound eternally out of place, on their own plane of existence, mixing past and future in some alternate present where bands know exactly what they’re doing and don’t kowtow to trends.
