After debuting with an album that captured the good-time, easy feeling of the early-’70s version of the Grateful Dead at their warmest, GospelbeacH returned with a second album that jumps ahead a decade or so, switches gears sonically, and in the process makes a bigger impression.
Under the guidance of Beachwood Spark’s Brent Rademaker, on “Another Summer Of Love” the band shelves its impressively deep Dead worship in favor of some serious Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers vibes. From the jangling warmth of the guitars to the hooky choruses, the subtle keyboards to the ringing, overdriven guitar solos that feel lifted from Mike Campbell’s bag of tricks, the album is like a lost Heartbreakers classic made just before Petty went solo on Full Moon Fever in the late ’80s.
On Another Summer Of Love GospelbeacH debuted on European soil for a short tour including Green Man Festival and a handful of club shows in the UK and Scandinavia.
