Television Mind
the debut CD by
The Cleavers
"Television Mind is upbeat pop music. You might call this intelligent pop rock."
Dave Howell, fmsound.net.
"Shining pop-rock - the '70s kind. That's what the Cleavers
deliver, and in spades. Not only that, but the pristine production and sophisticated arrangements contribute to distinguish
Television Mind as an intelligent album that demands more from its listener. Echoes of Todd Rundgren, 10cc, Wings, Queen and
Styx abound on this classy effort." Keven Mathews, nighttimes.com.
Take the melodic sophistication of latter-day Beatles, add the instrumentation of Steely Dan, and
mix it up with the pop sensibilities of Squeeze and Crowded House, and you'll come up with Television Mind, the debut
CD by The Cleavers. But that's only half the story. Combining meaningful lyrics with humor and a little punch of satire, The
Cleavers have produced a collection of sonic portraits that are truly "Picture Perfect."
Listen to each song and a drama - or a sitcom - plays inside your "Television Mind." The opening
cut, "A Little Success," cautions all who are trying to hit the big time. "William Blake," a Harry Chapin-like song, tells
how a college kid uses the poet to get the girl (yes, the story has a feel-good ending!). The last cut, "Jungle of Love,"
no doubt could be the theme song for the movie version of "Sex and the City."
