Recently back from his cosmic voyage to move and groove about with the “Funky Martians,” Zachary Mason now finds himself more concerned with earthly matters of the heart.
And very quickly, what might, from the intro at least, feel like a song heading into some classic rock realms, thanks in no small degree to the hazy and tripped-out vocals, reveals itself to be more akin to a heady slice of heavy psychedelia. Those raw and raging guitars push on with uncompromising power, but it is the spacey vocals that seem to define the song, stopping it well short of becoming just another piece of rock and roll, instead feeling like the product of some long-hair, garage rock band from the late sixties and one likely just off tour with The Grateful Dead.
Love is perhaps the most significant reason to write a song; after all, what more compelling and all-encompassing feeling is there, and “Sweetheart,” as the name suggests, adds to the canon. But unlike many of its contemporaries, it has an energy and attitude rare in the modern mainstream sound, preferring to tip its hat to more enlightened times, especially those brilliantly creative few years following the Summer of Love, when reality and everything came back down to earth with a wonderfully creative crash!
