The Associated Press Reviews “Love the Future”

This is a fantastic review. Check this out:
Chester French, “Love the Future” (Star Trak Entertainment)
Listening to Chester French’s album “Love the Future” is like walking through a hipster boutique — graphic T-shirts with ironic sayings to the right, obscure vinyl records to the left and general nerdiness all around. The only difference is that D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey’s musical goods have more authenticity.
“Love Future” is sonically retro — lead single “She Loves Everybody” is vintage pop with a touch of soul, and “Beneath the Veil” could easily pass for a Johnny Cash cover.
The lyrics, however, are a bit more contemporary. It seems that part of what makes Chester French appealing is imagining lead singer D.A. Wallach, in his bow tie and khaki pants, crooning sincerely that “it ain’t groupie love … you’re my Bebe Buell, my Puerto Rican Pamela Lee,” on the roaring track “Bebe Buell.”
“Love the Future” isn’t all facetious, however. “Fingers,” begins with a few happy-go-lucky piano chords, and quickly soars to include rumbling drums, delicate stringed-instruments and all the trappings of something orchestral.
“And the fingers of your mind have wrapped around my spine, and made me feel so blind,” Wallach sings, on the soaring gem.
CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: The beat beneath the song “Sleep 1/4″ captures a truly enjoyable ’90s West Coast hip-hop vibe.

This record, Jonathan Frost and Tim William are the most anticipated albums in the mind of my iPod. This review didn’t really give me as much detail as I was looking for… and so, either way, I’m buying the album. The Black Book interview is a good read and you guys get a high five. 
I think you guys are progressive and humanity appreciates your efforts. Peace and blessings.

Kenny Perez says: The bowtie is a big deal! So is the sound! Cop the album!
It is so nice to see people getting deep into it. I am so glad this CD is releasing so more discussion can be had on what it is that is just genius about you two. Also, you can pay that advance back and get to work on changing how the world sees this whole thing they call the “music industry.
Still though, you guys sound only like Chester French. Keep tearin down the walls! ? it =)
