Substance exceeds style on
Together We're Heavy, as Spree ringleader Tim DeLaughter unleashes a torrent of pet sounds by his twenty-five-member musical monster. To all but a few remaining enthusiasts of Sixties sunshine pop, the robe-clad troupe's 2001 debut, The Beginning Stages of . . . , was startling and alien, but ultimately it sounded like the demo it was. Heavy is more fully realized, a song cycle that flashes Spree trademarks such as the booming chorus of "Hold Me Now." "One Man Show" and "Suitcase Calling" are Heavy's heart: The gorgeous shape-shifting songs allow the diversity of the Spree's instrumentation, from strings to brass to theremin, to shine.
