Tides of Change

Plexi 3, “Tides of Change” (Certified PR, 2009)
They put out a good single on Dusty Medical Records a few years back, and now here’s the album, and it’s really good. Wendy Norton’s songs in particular are able to fashion the now-familiar garage-punk/girl-group/folk-rock hybrid into something distinctive and original, taking the freshness and spookiness of the source material into a place that’s truly contemporary in its clarity of definition and crisp impact.
A/6 is best; also try A/2, B/6 (the latter listed as B/7 on the label and cover; it’s the sixth banded track on the actual record).
