The Afghan-American artist (now based in Eindhoven NE) known for the band The Myrrors returned with a singular and amazing third solo record. This record was planned to be the studio debut of the project, but returned to a classic psychedelic home-and-elsewhere recorded collage. I think […]
It’s another in a long line of excellent and inimitable albums from this Taiwanese duo, and their second for Guruguru Brain. Their signature sample based experimental psychedelic pop has always been evocative of their south Asian surroundings, albeit through a fantastical and heady lens. This one’s […]
Holy Scum is a devastating collision of captivating mixing and production with high caliber, high volume improvisation. Their debut 2022 LP is headphone candy for folks who love the intricate and the distorted. It’s an album that hasn’t left my rotation since release. The group is […]
The full length debut from Bong Wish is a rootsy-yet-airy psych release I didn’t know I needed. 9 songs of psychedelic folk rock that’s fun, upbeat, simple and thoughtful. The production, lyrics and delivery are all classically psychedelic and overtly UK rock influenced. The project absolutely […]
I attended this incredible show in 2021 and the A Place To Bury Strangers set was the best APTBS set I’ve seen to date and a highlight of the whole festival. It’s been captured on record magnificently, true to life in its ear shattering glory. If […]
This home recorded demo from the “100% improvised punk” band is one of the best tapes to come out of anywhere during the early 2020s. Early jams and quarantine era home recording mix together in deft (and extreme) collaging akin to Acid Mother’s Temple or Perhaps. […]
There’s unlikely to be a finer krautrock adjacent album in 2023 than this Peruvian bands sophomore album. It’s absolutely fantastic, wholly original and extremely psychedelic. There are great electric and acoustic passages, field recordings and a big emotional range all in just 40 minutes of mostly […]
This is one of the most interesting modern Brazilian records I’ve heard in a while and it’s an easy contender for favorite of the year. Ricardo is perhaps best known for his decade of touring with Brazilian legends Caetano Veloso, although this is far from his […]
Some of the most exciting heavy psych coming out of the United States Pacific Northwest. The early 2020s have been hot for Spoon Benders, with a slew of well received tours and festival appearances that made this a hotly anticipated album for many. The record is […]
A low key modern classic out of Philadelphia. 11 beautiful tracks that exemplify excellent home recording and natural, free flowing rock. It’s mostly steady americana influenced songs that are beautiful and airy despite a dark reflective mood. There’s some heavier garage riffage and a few little […]
