    A stout first full length from The Heavy Heavy, whose fuzzy retro rock, mixed with So Cal pop charm, results in a winning combination on One Of A Kind.

    Inevitably there might be some that call The Heavy Heavy overtly nostalgic but when they are capable of producing such beautiful and layered tracks, it is hard not to be swept along by the band’s tightness and breadth.

    While the Heavy Heavy do seem to lift the occasional riff, the songs here sound like recordings lost in time for the most part, and the songcraft exceeds "lost outtake" status, with songs instead demanding headline standing of their own.

    When Fuller and Turner sing together (try Happiness or Cherry) it’s truly spectacular, two of a kind becoming one. [Oct 2024, p.90]
