This is an album of small miracles. The band has been together fifteen years. They’re six wonderful albums deep into their journey. The two band leaders found love in each other. They ended their love as a project after 2014s Survival Sounds. But Rubblebucket- already a […]
This is an intricate and uplifting album of psych pop that sparkles and bubbles with electroacoustic detail- laid out on top of stellar songwriting. It’s the UK groups first record since 2016 and their fifth for the inimitable Drag City Records, so there’s the first good […]
DAIISTAR is a great Austin TX band I’ve seen at two different psych fests- Levitation (sharing a stage with Slift) and Freakout! (sharing a stage with Acid Mother’s Temple.) Both sets were excellent and checking out their newest did not disappoint. Psychedelic pop/rock with huge shoegaze/dreampop […]
Producer and singer Liz Lehman (with help from co producer and blog favorite Fire-Toolz) levels up their emotional, intricate bedroom pop on their newest record. Excellent songwriting and production is elevated with shifting pop and electronic rhythms and airy, colorful and nostalgic synth. Electronic pop fans […]
Athens, Georgia based psych pop artist Christina Schneider released the first single off their upcoming album “Wicked Jaw,” out at the end of July via Captured Tracks. “You Were Right About One Thing” is the first of the 10 tracks on the record, which promises to […]
This is the finest psych album I’ve heard in a while, and I wish it had been on my radar when it was released. Chicago’s Divino Niño perfectly synthesizes a variety of classic and contemporary American and Latin pop sounds into a wonderful psych album. It’s […]
Another beautiful album from singer, Indian classical instrumentalist and electronic producer Ami Dang. They have a lovely and singular ambient-pop sound full of beautiful instrumentation on traditional instruments and modular synths, rich beats, and openly psychedelic sensibilities. This album is at least as good as the […]
I would describe this Portland trios music as “spiritual cumbia” and that doesn’t really do it justice. It’s certainly still music for dancing and it’s plenty psychedelic. What separates this short record from others in the modern cumbia world (including guitarist Reyna’s well known solo work) […]
A fine debut from Indonesian psych pop/rock group Crayola Eyes. Dreamy mixed tempo psych with just enough grit, it really hits the sweet spot. Track 3 is devoted to Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom and while that influence is certainly heard it’a not overwhelming. The record sounds […]
