While Australian pop-psych act The Dolly Rocker Movement’s name might be a Syd Barrett reference, their sound leans heavier on another British mystic of the period. It makes sense: Marc Bolan dug Barrett, too. And these guys might be the best T-Rex update ever. If singer Daniel Poulter comes across a little too accurately as that long lost elf of glitter and smoke, it comes off as more homage than impression. After all, Bolan has been dead for 30 years. It’s about time somebody took a swing at his particular brand of glam and psychedelia as well as these guys have- unabashedly song-friendly, full of hooks and anthemic choruses, with the occasional detour into the truly haunting or straight up bad-ass.
