There’s a strong ‘90s feel to the psych-rock of Fort Collins, CO band Race to Neptune. The likes of Ride and even Dinosaur Jr. feel like appropriate reference points when listening to “Like a Fairytale,” while Brit-pop names such as The Charlatans (U.K.) and Jesus Jones scream out from “Weightless Arrival.” None of this is a bad thing. On the contrary, it’s been a while since a new band of this type has emerged, from Colorado no less, and really dazzled both musically and with the songwriting. The aforementioned “Weightless Arrival” is the pick of the bunch—dig through the fuzz and there’s an insistent melody.
