Telegraph Avenue – Telegraph Avenue (1972)

The debut album from this band from Peru.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, xylophone, congas percussion, bass, guitars, harmonica and vocals.

This band released two albums before a military junta closed down this and other rock bands in Peru in the middle of the 1970s. I will post a review of their second album in some days time.

The music on this half an hour long album is a mix of 1960s beat and psych rock.

The music are very much caught in the 1960s vein. They sounds a bit naive, innocent and naked. 

The songs are pretty decent and has some qualities.

The vocals is good and the band does a good job despite of their lack of resources. The sound is not particular good. It is decent though.

The result is a decent album which sounds like it is stuck in the 1960s. Not bad, not bad at all.
