“Americana music is a broad church and if a wedding were to be held in it, where the dress code was smart, Shaw’s Trailer Park, are the rabble-rousing guests who arrive in their oil-stained denims and with a glint in their eye, impatient for the service to finish and the garage band influenced party to start.” – Darren Lumbroso (AmericanaUK)
“You will not hear many albums like this this year and that adds to its charm. It is beautifully arranged, performed and produced and laden with Psych without ever trying to overdo it. It is extraordinarily good…”
“Turn the volume way up to benefit from the full sensory derangement of an electric drone zone that doesn’t do folky ballads, can’t write like Dylan, doesn’t like Bill Grundy, but just might be the biggest fun on planet Earth.” - Andrew Darlington (RnR)
Shaw's Trailer Park have shifted it up a gear with their second album "I Thought I Saw You..." 10 tracks of sonic and sultry blues, a rootsy racket throbbing and pulsating down the Rock'n'Roll highway, burning rubber with a fuzzed up foot on the gas mutant heady hellbelly mix of Garage Punk, Psychedelia and Country. Like The Byrds on Benzedrine...Brilliant stuff!
As so many bands struggle on their second album, there has been for a long time an allotted syndrome for the failure to follow up a debut LP effectively. Happily Shaw’s Trailer Park plough on irrespective of such things, gleefully creating their own reality on I Thought I Saw You… with a devil may care attitude that sets them up to deliver some fine Psych Pop/Rock. That makes it two wins out of two for them now. Do yourself a favour and cop an earful, you might very well find yourself setting up camp!
