#three o'clock

Hector J. Guerra is the main impetus behind the band hhhhhh. The band appears to be Los Angeles based. I heard about this release via Austin Town Hall. Nathan Lankford described it as a "classical brand of paisley psychedelia." When I think of that I think of bands like Rain Parade, Green on Red and Three O'Clock.

While I agree that there is a definite psychedelic feel to this, I wouldn't necessarily call it classic paisley (although the song "return receipt" definitely has a classic feel). To me, it recalls the work of Sonny Smith (Sonny & The Sunsets) combined with more folky sounds like Kings of Convenience.

We double checked, and it's weirdly true!  It's Always Three O'Clock.  It's also always breakfast time somewhere, as we discovered here.  And every day is Christmas, as proven here.

Non esco spesso. Non mi piace, o meglio: non mi piaceva. Adoravo stare a casa tra i miei libri, il mio computer e i sicuri cuscini del mio divano. Poi ho cambiato scuola, ho conosciuto persone che poi avrei scoperto essere tutto ciò che avevo sempre desiderato: amici. E’ grazie a loro se mi sono innamorata; mi sono innamorata della vita e del mondo, e del cielo.

In Time sound like a current lo-fi pop/punk band.   But they were “discovered” on a thrift store tape (recorded in the mid 1980s).  The man who found and bought the tape was so taken by the band that he tracked down members to Pennsylvania.  The band gave more tapes (also from the mid 1980s) and now we have “Inside Your Head” released by one of my favorite reissue labels, Guerssen (Spain).
