biographical info
... Bodega's long-awaited new album offers sun-drenched, 60s-inspired soaring rock songs with down-to-earth lyrics and sing-along choruses that give Lennon and McCartney a run for their money. Although Mercury Rev's Dave Fridmann helped out with producer duties, this ain't no spacey dream-pop disc. It's impeccably produced but still organic -- the way good ol', though very original, rock 'n' roll should be."
-Sarah Liss/ Now Magazine
... Rodriguez brings Bodega back into the fold and this time he's armed with a producer in tow whose resume boasts the likes of The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and Mogwai. The new songs still carry Rodriguez's trademark quirky pop sensibility, but with the help of Fridmann they take on a much more sweeping, even psychedelic scope. If anyone ever wondered what a Zombies/Beach Boys/Beatles jam session would've sounded like, you need look no further. Here's the soundtrack to your summer, kids."
