Our Take

Album Review: Strawberry Alarm Clock - Strawberries Mean Love

By: Quentin Sodapop

Ah, Strawberry Alarm Clock, the psychedelic pioneers who brought us the iconic "Incense and Peppermints." Now, decades later, they grace us with their latest offering, "Strawberries Mean Love." What can I say about this album? It's like taking a trip down memory lane, but with a modern twist.

From the opening track, "Strawberry Fields Forever (Not That One)," the band immediately transports you to a whimsical world of love, sunshine, and, of course, strawberries. The swirling guitars and dreamy vocals create a sense of euphoria that is impossible to resist.

Tracks like "Berry Good Vibes" and "Jammin' With Jam" showcase the band's undeniable chemistry and musicianship. The groovy basslines and infectious melodies will have you tapping your feet and reaching for that strawberry daiquiri in no time.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The haunting ballad "Rotten Berry Blues" delves into the darker side of love, with poignant lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings. It's a welcome change of pace that adds depth to an otherwise breezy collection of songs.

Overall, "Strawberries Mean Love" is a delightful throwback to the heyday of psychedelic rock, with a modern twist that keeps it fresh and relevant. So grab a strawberry-themed cocktail, sit back, and let Strawberry Alarm Clock take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, old chap!

About the artist

The Strawberry Alarm Clock

STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK, the groovy psychedelic rock outfit hailing from sunny California, burst onto the scene in the late 1960s like a whirlwind of technicolor and fuzzed-out guitars. With their catchy melodies, kaleidoscopic visuals, and whimsical charm, they quickly became darlings of the psychedelic music scene. Formed in 1966 in Los Angeles, STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK drew inspiration from the burgeoning counterculture movement, blending elements of psychedelic rock with folk, pop, and even a hint of sunshine pop. Their iconic hit "Incense and Peppermints" catapulted them to fame in 1967, earning them a spot in the annals of rock history and solidifying their status as psychedelic pioneers. Led by the enigmatic frontman Paul Marshall, STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK's music embodied the free-spirited ethos of the 1960s, with dreamy harmonies, swirling organ solos, and trippy lyrics that transported listeners to a realm of peace, love, and groovy vibrations. Their debut album, also titled "Incense and Peppermints", remains a classic of the psychedelic rock genre, showcasing the band's eclectic sound and infectious energy. Despite their relatively short-lived success, STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK left an indelible mark on the music world, influencing generations of artists with their whimsical spirit and experimental approach. With their kaleidoscopic soundscapes and infectious hooks, they continue to inspire listeners to embrace their inner flower child and get lost in the magic of psychedelic rock. So put on your tie-dye shirt, light some incense, and let STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK take you on a trippy musical journey back to the Summer of Love.
