Makin Waves with
The Anderson Council
SHARE BUTTON
If you are a fan of British Inva-
sion power pop and psychedelia
and subsequently inspired
acts, Highland Park-based The
Anderson Council are your jam.
Released on Jersey-based JEM
Records — home to similar Gar-
den State acts The Weeklings and
The Grip Weeds — last year’s 14-
song “Worlds Collide” is one of
the best things the psyche-pop
four-piece ever have done during
their 21 years, following four pre-
vious LPs and an anthology.
Led by founding singer-song-
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 68
by Bob Makin
writer-guitarist Peter Horvath,
The Anderson Council have
been making their sundae of
’60s-inspired psyche pop so
long, they’ve developed their
own sound and style. Longtime
skinsman Christopher Ryan’s
drums crash into veteran lead
guitarist David Whitehead’s ex-
pressively sonic sun bursts, while
exquisite vocal harmonies are
like a cherry on top, balancing
out the smash ‘n’ bash and cut
‘n’ stomp also of relatively new
bassist Simon Burke.
