From the first track to the closing notes, The Plimsouls' distinctive sound permeates the air, solidifying their place in the rock pantheon. "Everywhere at Once" stands as a testament to The Plimsouls' artistic prowess and enduring impact on the rock music landscape.
In the heart of the early 1980s, amidst a burgeoning new wave and synth-pop scene, emerged a power pop gem that captured the raw energy and melodic hooks of rock and roll's golden era. The Plimsouls' "Everywhere at Once" album, released in 1983, cemented the band's place in the genre and left an indelible mark on music history.
A Leap to the Mainstream
"Everywhere at Once" marked The Plimsouls' major-label debut with Geffen Records, following their self-titled album on Planet Records and the independent release of the hit single "A Million Miles Away." The album's production was helmed by Jeff Eyrich, known for his work with artists like Tonio K. and The Blasters. Recording took place at various studios in Los Angeles, including The Lighthouse, Mama Jo's, The Pasha Music House, and Record One.
Power Pop Perfection
The album's musical exploration remained rooted in power pop, a genre characterized by catchy melodies, energetic instrumentation, and a blend of rock, punk, and pop influences. The Plimsouls' songwriting prowess shone through on tracks like "Shaky City," "Magic Touch," and "Play the Breaks," all showcasing the band's ability to craft infectious hooks and deliver them with a driving rock and roll swagger.
Standout Tracks and Controversies
While "Everywhere at Once" received critical acclaim for its power pop sensibilities and songwriting, it did face some controversy due to its polished production. Some critics felt that the major-label treatment had somewhat diluted the band's raw energy, compared to their earlier work. However, the album's undeniable highlights, such as the aforementioned tracks and the anthemic "A Million Miles Away," solidified its place in power pop history.
