Say Psych: Album Review, Henge
In your fuckin’ face…that’s what this album is from the very first bar as the feedback from opener ‘TD’ pours fluidly from the speakers, the bass pulsates and the fuzzed up guitar kicks in. If that wasn’t enough to pin you back to the wall you are harangued by the sort of vocals which leave …
Say Psych: Album Review, Flaming Lake by Electric Moon
Sulatron Records has been ploughing a pretty impressive psychedelic furrow (I wonder what that would actually look like) for over a decade now. Founder Dave Schmidt (also known as Sula Bassana) has been been releasing his own music, both as solo work and through collaborative projects such as Zone Six and Krautzone; as well as …
Say Psych: Album Review, Lanes Oil, Dream Is Pry by Rollfast
Rollfast is a band that I’ve been following for a while (here for previous reviews); a five-piece from Bali, Indonesia it purveys a great line in blues drenched psych rock that, in the limited number of releases I’ve heard, has never disappointed. Now, after almost 5 years together, the band has put out an album with …
Say Psych: Album Review, At The Center Of All Infinity by Yuri Gagarin
Happens every year: I do my list of favourite albums and along comes one just after I’ve pressed send and totally blows me away. Having said that I’m not sure what I would have dropped to accommodate ‘At The Centre Of All Infinity’ by Gothenburg’s Yuri Gagarin, but there is absolutely no way that it would …
Say Psych: Album Review, Drone Jams Vol. 1 by Space Spectrum
The jam is something that seems to be missing in much of mainstream music these days. I am not saying that it was ever that prevalent, but there have been times when musicians just got up and played; just to see where it would take them. This, of course, would be an anathema to most …
Say Psych: Album Review, ‘Horse Stories’ by Josefin Ohrn + The Liberation
The vast majority music that I listen to is, for want of a better word, dirty. It usually has lots of fuzzed up guitar and other effects: sonics that are foggy and dense. Every so often though a record comes along that is clean and clear that I just really take to my heart. Such …
Album Review: Throw Down Bones – ‘Throw Down Bones’
photo by chromaticism at Fuzz Club Records Festival Throw Down Bones are, Frankie Frankie, (so cool they named him twice!) : Guitar/Synth/Vocal/Effect, Dave Cocks: Bass/Percussion and James Aparicio: Producer. Throw Down Bones is “Noise Militia, Amnesia haze kraut and Philosophical drone”. Risen, phoenix-like from the ashes of Piatcions, “THROW DOWN BONES is the answer, a personal therapy, a rehab …
SayPsych: Album Review, ‘Highly Deadly Black Tarantula’ by Teeth of the Sea
Here we are then, around fifteen years late, but it finally feels as if the end of the millennium has arrived. As the forces of power and terror mass within and without a great dystopian darkness seems to be falling on the land. While the mainstream media continues to spew out ephemera to keep the …
Say Psych: Album Review, Minami Deutsch
When I saw that Cardinal Fuzz was bringing an album out by a band called Minami Deutsch I was intrigued but not overly expectant. It was going to be good, well for me the Cardinal does not release anything that is not, and from the name it was probably going to have some sort of …
Album Review: Sudakistan – ‘Caballo Negro’
Photo by: Christian Apolo ‘Caballo Negro’ or Black Horse by Sudakistan is an album I was destined to hear. In the week leading up to Liverpool Psych Fest 2104, if El Lobo first came to me in the guise of ‘Dale Gas’, then ‘Rabia‘ literally injected me with Sudakistan’s rabid frenzy. My pack allegiance was immediately assured. Luke Reilly, …
