Combining their mutual love for pop-psych, power-pop, country-rock, sunshine-pop and beyond, BRONCO BULLFROG fashioned their own sound, full of loud guitars, refreshing vocal harmonies and killer hooks.
Formed in 1996 by Andy Morten, Mike Poulson and Louis Wiggett, Bronco Bullfrog took their name from the 1970 British cult film of the same title.
Recorded at the now famous Liam Watsons Toe Rag Studios (White Stripes, Tame Impala, Billy Childish), The Sidelong Glances was the third album by British pop-psychers Bronco Bullfrog. For a band clearly influenced by late 60s / early 70s sounds, to be surrounded by vintage sixties equipment felt like a dream. As bass player Louis Wiggett recalls: the general old school approach lent itself to our belief (probably a desire) that we sounded like some obscure noisy pop band whod recorded one 45 for Immediate, and then one for Deram, and then a final one for Hit-Ton Schallplatten, all within three months in late 1966.
Here youll find the classic Bronco sound (inventive songwriting, memorable hooks, three-part harmonies, hard guitars) mixed with cool studio experimentation in the best 60s style (tape phasing, piano strings played with plectrums). Including iconic songs like Barnaby Slade, Octopus, Look at Me, Sunday
Originally released by Spanish label Mushroom Pillow in 2002 and out of print for many years, heres a welcomed vinyl reissue.
