2020THE ORANGE PEELS

2020

One would expect a band dubbed the Orange Peels to sound sweetly effervescent, and this West Coast quintet doesn’t disappoint. Led by the engaging Allen Clapp, the Peels arrive at their fourth album fully reinvigorated after a brief Clapp solo stint. They sound as giddy as ever, with “We’re Gonna Make It,” “Shining Like Stars” and “Charmed Life” exuding the irrepressible enthusiasm their song titles suggest. Even when that buoyant energy drops away, as in the serene “Emily Has Told Me Why,” the positive vibes remain intact. Billowing harmonies, shimmering textures, a robust rhythm section and a decidedly ’60s sensibility make 2020 a wide-eyed delight.
