I'm really getting into 1960's british (and american) pop. Back then the word "pop" was not synonymous with homogenized aural shit, it actually signified expert craftsmanship in both songwriting and producing. Thanks to my copious (and obsessive) re-readings of the books written about Elliott Smith, I am finally finding out about the Zombies, The Left Banke and Box Tops. These guys knew how to use harmony and complex instrumentation to their advantage.
Beautiful piece of baroque pop! I totally see where Smith was influenced when it came to chordal structure and lyricism. (disregard the smelly pictures in the video haha)
