What's Up! Magazine

The Wash is the first album released by band The Keaton Collective, featuring vocals and guitar by Chad Fox of The Braille Tapes, Adam Tanaguchi on guitar, J.D. Uhls on drums/vocals, Rey Corpuz on bass, William Jennings on stand-up bass/vocals, Alex Jones does back-up vocals, and finally Ricky Penalba on percussion/vocals.

I can safely say that this album is a great homage to the best late 90′s post-punk bands, its guitar arrangements reminiscent of Sunny Day Real Estate and At The Drive-In. The instrumentation is lush and vibrant, complimenting its catchy pop choruses while still being mature and self-aware.

It’s a gorgeously arranged album with complimentary harmonies in the choruses and great instrumentation on the part of its band members. There’s nothing better than having a local band with such major hit-appeal and charm.

The album was recorded and mixed by Ricky Penalba. It was mastered at Bayside Recording by Paul Turpin.
