The Sha La Das – Your Picture (Honey Mustard Vinyl)

The Sha La Das are Bill Schalda and his talented sons Paul, Will and Carmine, hailing from Staten Island, New York. "Your Picture", the Sha La Das' second album and their first release on producer Tom Brenneck's (Charles Bradley, Menahan Street Band, Lady Wray) Diamond West Records label, is another unique testament to the stirring power of harmony between blood relatives and a tribute to the enduring love story between Bill and the matriarch of the family, Linda. Traces of old memories flicker through "Your Picture".

Bill's classic songwriting and lush vocal arrangements are catapulted into new territory, updating the doo-wop with the bass-heavy groove and swirling pop of Brenneck's lean, spacious production. "We brought in some psychedelic sounds and were inspired by everything from deep soul records to the Beatles and the Beach Boys," says Brenneck. Love radiates from "Your Picture" and flows from the shimmering melodies that Bill and his sons produce as they live their musical dream.
