Album DescriptionThe Spectacular Fantastic mixes inviting Pop molds with an experimental bent that never trounces the song's impact. Detmer is a clever, imaginative songwriter who keys in on the "catchy melody" aspect of Pop, but doesn't limit himself, often sliding comfortably into Roots Rock, Folk and even Country motifs. Some of Detmer's songs have a scrappy Neil Young quality ("Depression"), and he never shies away from a psychedelic tinge when the mood strikes. Awesome stuff. Highly recommended. - Mike Breen, CityBeat
