My introduction to Edmonton, Alberta’s Gilbertson was at Chromewaves, and they’re right about his self-titled debut (Pop Echo Records) being a throwback to a ’90s guitar-pop sound. I, for one, will always be a sucker for a dreamy vocal melody bouncing off of a simple overdriven guitar progression as is happening on “Get Going.” Add a rubbery string melody at the bridge and I’ll stand in one spot with hands in pockets nodding along in blissful agreement. Yes. I’m saying, yes.
