If you heard San Francisco’s Dominant Legs on the radio without any knowledge of who you were, you may well think you’d be magically transported back to the mid-’80s and a time when Paul Simon’s ‘You Can Call Me Al’ ruled the airwaves. Because ‘Invitation’ - the debut album from this duo - is an incredibly anachronistic invention. So much so, that you wonder if the likes of ‘Where We Trip The Light’ and ‘Already Know That It’s Nice’ weren’t cryogenically frozen some twenty-five years ago and recently brought back to life. As such, it’s more a relic of the past than a record of the future.
