Say Psych: Playlist 10/2016
Tracks old and new on this week’s Psych Insight playlist, representing lots of different genre wishing what is often termed ‘psych’. Ultimately the terms don’t matter, just get with the music. Enjoy! Not Everyone by Os Noctambulos I really liked ‘Corsica Garden’, the previous album by Os Noctambulos (see review here), and now the …
Track: Saint Agnes – Sister Electric
The Devil has the greatest tunes, but he relies on his disciples to deliver. Born beneath a lightening strewn sky in a cemetery at midnight (-it’s true. Read this.) Saint Agnes’ offer up a tune more than fitting for the godforsaken roadhouse you’ll find at the crossroads way out in the middle of the Badlands. Let …
Say Psych: Album Review, Failures by Khünnt
If you’re going to call yourself Khünnt then you are going to need to have a sound that somehow backs that up. In this case the band’s moniker acts as something of a gatekeeper for the Khünnt sonic experience. Basically if you are put off or offended by something called Khünnt, then you probably haven’t missed anything. If, …
Say Psych: Album Review, ‘Sweet Chariot’ by Earthling Society
The Earthling Society are one of those bands who really intrigue me. The music that they produce it more often than not beyond classification, and while on their website they claim the primary influences of 60s psychedelia and 70s bands such as Can, Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh and Amon Duul 2, there is something more …
See: Goat release new video for I sing in silence – plus new European tour dates
Mysterious Swedish psych rockers Goat have released a new video for their forthcoming single, I sing in Silence, which is out via Rocket Recordings on May 27th. Turning away from their trademark riffs, the band have stripped things down, and rid I sing in Silence of pretty much any electric sounds, save for one twangy …
Album Review: White Denim – Stiff
White Denim are one of those kinds of bands that just make you want to drive insanely fast and punch the air with your fists. They make this kind of uptempo, good time rock and roll that is a little more caffeinated than your average fun time rock band. Another thing about White Denim is …
Say Psych: Playlist 9/2016
This weeks Psych Insight playlist is an all-Canada special! Ten tracks from ten great bands all producing great music over the last half century, with a definite nod to the current scene which appears to be in fine health. The music speaks for itself, but I thought I’d add a bit of atmosphere with a …
Say Psych: Album Review, Entranced Earth by The Myrrors
The Myrrors are one of those bands, and actually for me there are not many, whose albums I will happily buy without hearing first. They have behind them a series of releases which in many ways defies description and classification. For me this is because they layer so many different ideas and atmospheres into their music. …
News: Black Lips Billed To Headline Fluffer Pit Party
If getting deaf and sweaty at a rock & roll warehouse party isn’t your idea of a great Saturday night out, then read no further. Atlanta’s hottest leather-clad garage rock exports, the Black Lips, are billed to headline Fluffer Records‘s latest Pit Party. In true squat rave style, the secret East London location isn’t revealed until the day of the …
Say Psych: Album Review, Psychic Lemon by Psychic Lemon
Hold the front page…this just in…Psychic Lemon formed a couple of years ago in Cambridge and, from what I can find out, have had a few tracks out and have been building a local following for themselves. Then, blammo, they appear as if from nowhere with a fully formed and with really good debut album …
