“Summer Grof“
from the album Moonwink

In 2006, you couldn’t open a music paper without seeing The Spinto Band being tipped for the top in one poll or another. It never really seemed to take off for them, though, despite the praise heaped on their Nice and Nicely Done album. Back next month with Moonwink, it’s immediately obvious that they haven’t made any sweeping changes to their sound. Spinto reference points include The Beatles and ELO, and the latter’s influence is most obvious on the lead single “Summer Grof,“ which could well be the surprise hit of the season.
