"Oh, The Sweet, Sweet Changes"

Philadelphia's Photon Band return with Oh the Sweet, Sweet Changes, their second full length of '67-to-'69-styled mod-psych pop rock. The sound is more mature, harder and perhaps more urban than the Elephant 6 stuff, no bubblegum here, and perhaps the next evolutionary step. Photon Band fans who are fans of The Jam, XTC and The Who will be pleased. The Photons definitely deliver satisfaction in that department, but there's something else at play too, something intriguingly and uniquely Photonesque.
