Greater California‘s first album, 2002’s The Little Pacific, won the Long Beach quintet comparisons to Brian Wilson, the Zombies, Harry Nilsson and the Byrds. 2005’s The Somber Wurlitzer didn’t garner quite as much praise in spite of its clever concept (the entire album was recorded between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.). In April, Greater California will release its third album, All The Colors (Subtitled Audio), which could be its golden ticket; the record is full of lush psychedelic pop and songs like “Disappearing,” which has a spooky, boardwalk-after-dark feel to it.
