Thorinshield is sometimes labeled a U.S. folk-psych trio or a sunshine pop band by collectors, but though they share some traits with Californian sunshine pop artists, they had a more straightforward, less lightweight rock flavor than many acts given that label. On their sole, obscure, self-titled album (from 1968), the influences of the melodic rock and vocal harmonies of the 1966-1967 Beatles are evident, as are some of the ornate orchestration, production trickery, and trippily optimistic-romantic lyrics that were becoming in vogue throughout much pop music by the late '60s.(AMG) Bass - Bob Ray, drums - Terry Hand and guitar - James Smith 01 - Life Is A Dream 02 - Brave New World 03 - Wrong My Friend 04 - Here Today 05 - Pleasure Time 06 - The Best Of It 07 - Daydreaming 08 - Light That Love Brings 09 - Prelude To A Postlude 10 - One Girl 11 - Collage Of Attitudes LINK
