The Numbers “My Beautiful Distance” CD and Album Release Party.
RELEASE ON THE KOOL KAT LABEL! Brothers-in-pop Terry and Larry Tutor are back with the much-anticipated followup (and Kool Kat label debut) to their highly praised 2025 “comeback” of sorts release “Mad Day Out”! And, like “Mad Day Out”, “My Beautiful Distance” again displays their blend of Merseybeat and Laurel Canyon, drawing heavy stylistic nods to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and The Byrds. Turning The Tide had this to say about “Mad Day Out” “Immediately appealing from the first play and their years of playing combined with life experiences lends a blanketing sage-like quality. Their current sound can best be described as upbeat sparkling 60’s-influenced guitar-driven pop with bittersweet inflections. As might be expected, they are totally conversant with the masters: the Beatles, Beach Boys and the Byrds. In addition, they have retained their Texas twang and those Everlys-esque brotherly harmonies. It’s competently played pop with absolutely no pretensions, which is as refreshing as it is reassuring. Larry and Terry’s heartland roots pop songwriting, frequently upending clichés, is somewhat evocative of Jules Shear. The proficiency of the musicianship leans towards pure pop acts like Bill Lloyd, Walter Clevenger & the Dairy Kings and the Spongetones. It’s a sound you don’t hear too much these days, but it certainly has its place in both the congested and contested power pop scene and the nebulous realms of pop rock.” And those words also ring true on “My Beautiful Distance”. “Fans of roots pop, with a strong emphasis on hooky pop will welcome ‘My Beautiful Distance’ with open arms. It’s been said many times, and it’s true – it’s tough to beat sibling harmonies – and the Tutor brothers are proof of that. Throw in a healthy dose of jangly 6 & 12 string guitars and the boys have delivered another winner!” – Chadwick Bancroft GREAT!!
