Kelley Stoltz
Antique Glow
(Beautiful Happiness, 2004)
A dusty gem from when the San Franciscan troubadour was more four-track minded.
Stoltz was in the UK last month supporting fellow SF duo, Two Gallants and playing solo shows in support of his new single, Your Reverie - a joyous, Donovan-esque toe-tapper from his forthcoming Circular Sounds album. These days Stoltz is positively mid-fi (hats off to the Sub Pop label for finally stumping up for him to record properly) but there is always a place in MOJO’s heart for his second album, the bedroom masterpiece Antique Glow, its very title evocative of a charming eccentric, shuffling through pop’s charity shops, pilfering from the box marked: ‘60s Pop - British’. But Stoltz is a superior musical magpie with a lyrical gift that elevates his songs above the level of a man-sized jukebox. Thus, Perpetual Night, a light-fingered descendent of Here Comes The Sun, becomes a moving lament for a fallen dinosaur and Under Water’s Where The Action Is plinky plonks through Small Faces Lazy Sunday to a time when “Flippers and manatee, they will be everyday vocabulary”. I’m there already.
