MIGHTY FAIRLY "Big Words And Power Chords"
2008（TINDER BOX） ￥1,470(taxin) POWERPOP of the month
ファーストアルバムが当ディストロで大ヒット！！日本ではもちろんここしか買えない・・・これって悲しいじゃないのよ！だって最高すぎるミネアポリスの男女混声パワーポップバンド、Mighty Fairlyのセカンドアルバムだよ！？！名曲「Wake Up」を聴いてもらってもわかる”WeezerやThey Might Be Giants、Apples In Stereo大好きだ～～”だった前作がよりヤングでポップ弾け具合をベースにしていたとするならば本作はShinsやThe New PornographersやSpoonらのようなアメリカの”今”トラディッショナル・インディーフォーク/ポップサウンドを多分に取り入れている！もちろん「Simple Minded」のようなアップテンポの曲もいっぱいだがPV曲「My America」を聴いてもその影響は顕著！！。REMにも例えられたり、こりゃ、アメリカでもひょっとするとひょっとする？う～ん、成長！！。

REVIEW
Mighty Fairly is a melodic pop foursome from Minneapolis, MN. Their debut release is being spun nationwide on over 260 college radio stations and has been met with critical acclaim. Please enjoy your stay.
"...the music has a jangle pop shine and neo-folk psychedelics creating an optimistic glow like a rainbow around woeful feelings"
- HybridMagazine.com, Susan Frances, June 2007
"Perfectly Good Airplanes is chock full of catchy hooks, bouncy rhythms, nicely layered harmonies and infectious music that will make nearly any pop lover smile."
- Delusions of Adequacy, Lisa Town, April 2007
"...tracks burst with bouncy pop energy, splashy boy/girl vocal harmonies and hooks galore. Their musical approach is clean and strummy, yet insatiably upbeat with some of the tastiest bass lines you’ll hear from a modern pop band."
- Amplifier Magazine, Jeff Shelton, March 2007
"Mighty Fairly's tunes are squeaky-clean pop sung with full-throated exuberance..."
- Metro Magazine, Robvan Alstyne. Jan 2007
"Full of hooks, bright harmonies and irresistible synthesizer fills, Suemnig writes songs that lodge themselves in the listener's brain and beg to be played again and again."
- The Pulse of the Twin Cities, Andrea Myers - Nov 2006
"...they know how to write a pop song so it's cool and hip."
- Rfit Magazine, Rich Horton - 10/29/200
