Say Psych: 25 Essential Psych Albums 2016
This is the third year that I have done a list of ‘Essential Psych Albums’ (2014 here/ 2015 here), which has proved to be the most popular thing that I post here on Backseat Mafia. I love end of year lists because they give me a great chance to catch up on things I might …
Say Psych: Album Review, Strange Pleasures by Dreamtime
OK here goes, I’m a little nervous. Here’s the thing. I have written around 75 album reviews this year, yet I’ve still got a few butterflies. Why? Well every so often an album comes along that you really really want to do justice to. An album that you want to be able to describe to …
Say Psych: Playlist 24/2016

Say Psych: Premiere, The Sentient by Dreamtime
It’s been a big year for Dreamtime releases this year. The first two albums, ‘Dreamtime‘ and ‘Sun‘, were re-released by Cardinal Fuzz/ Captcha Records back in January and sold out pretty damn quickly. Now hot (really hot) on their heels comes the Brisbane band’s third album ‘Strange Pleasures’ which is now up for pre-order from …

Say Psych: Album Review, Sun by Dreamtime
Captcha Records/ Cardinal Fuzz are taking on a real public service function here by repressing the first two albums by Australian spiritual psych rockers Dreamtime. While the band’s eponymously titled debut is reviewed elsewhere, here I’m having a look at the second album ,’Sun’, which is a considerable development from that already accomplished first album. ‘Sun’ …
Say Psych: Album Review, Dreamtime by Dreamtime

All that is about to change, however, with Captcha Records/ Cardinal Fuzz launching represses of the band’s first two albums (see a review of second album, Sun, here). The debut, eponymously …
