It is only appropriate to call this musical effort “the wallscenery demos,” because that’s what the creators put on their Web site and their public relations material. So “the wallscenery demos” it is.

Let’s be up front about this – it’s psychedelic music on the folk level. That’s good enough for categorization. But what about the tune “wallscenery holler?” Jammin’ like this was very popular in the 60s and, with this listener, it’s still pretty good.

Contributors on the list are: mike daley, peter forbes, sheldon kelly, mike mella and james hicken (again with lower case, as used in the name). How about this list of influences: Al Tuck, Guided By Voices, Leadbelly, Neil Young, the Kinks – it goes on and on.

I love the title “pink plastic knuckle dusters.” The tune is above average for a tie-dyed, head tune too. For those who want to experience the wallpaper demos, try “way out.” It’s, well, it’s….way out.

Here’s one comment on the group, with the name incorrectly capitalized. “The Wallscenery Demos self titled release may only be 26.9 minutes long, but this is one beautifully constructed album.”

The band itself states: The wallscenery demos is a guitar driven project that dabbles in spaced-out soundtracks as well as indie folk pop. By the way, the people in this group are from various places up east, including Canada.
