Flower-Corsano Duo – The Halcyon (2022)

2022 Flower-Corsano Duo psychedelic rock UK 2 Comments

“Since 2007’s brilliant “The Radiant Mirror”, Flower-Corsano Duo have occupied an idiosyncratic space in the musical spectrum. Who else exactly is looking to build a power duo from improv drums and electrified shahi baaja sounds? The duo don’t release much either, so a new set from them is always worth a peek, and on this one Corsano sounds more energetic than ever, working his kit in tides rather than rhythms, leaving Flower to fire shards of harmonic noise from his instrument. The album is assembled from recordings captured in Leeds, Edinburgh and Bristol, and hearing the occasional scream of delight as Corsano spirals into a wormhole or Flower ascends into the heavens just adds to the hyperactive delight. What do u call it? We’ve no idea, but it’s fucking great.”

Frozen Planet….1969 – Not From 1969 (2022)

2022 Australia Frozen Planet....1969 psychedelic rock 1 Comment

“More wild jams. Not from 1969 but from the 21st century! With their tenth album Frozen Planet…. 1969 wish to remind us they are not from all the way back in time, and perhaps you’ll believe they are not living in the past either. A modern-day jam band who have chosen a name that contains the magical year of 1969! Three tracks make up the contents of ‘Not From 1969’. Diamond Dust starts it all off with some Middle-Eastern vibes keeping suspense and intensity throughout, with just a nice amount of reverb. All this before a trip through the Strangelands begins. Track two, ‘Strangelands’ rolls along smoothly. Not too harsh and not too mellow, it provides the bridge to the epic final track ‘Dissolver’. The usual workout of guitar effects driven along by the usual powerhouse bass and drums. Another solid collection of jams from this Australian trio.”

Kandodo4 – Burning the (Kandl) (2022)

2022 Kandodo psychedelic rock UK 2 Comments

“kandodo was invited to play at the 2015 Roadburn Festival as part of The Heads residency. Robert Hampson from Loop/MAIN was also going to be at the festival and so it seemed a good opportunity for him to join kandodo for this gig along with Wayne and Hugo from The Heads (who are also the Loop rhythm section as well as part of kandodo). Rehearsals were set up in Bristol and the gig in Roadburn was a couple of nights later and that is the recordings gathered here for “Burning The (Kandl)”… So get ready for a total immersive trip through a psychedelic vortex . A glorious head nodding voyage into inner space where the vast churning of fuzzy guitars / keys / bass and drums phase in and out of focus with your inner core.”

Earthless – Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (2022)

2022 Earthless psychedelic rock stoner rock USA 4 Comments

“There’s an ancient Japanese legend in which a horde of demons, ghosts and other terrifying ghouls descend upon the sleeping villages once a year. Known as Hyakki Yagyō, or the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, one version of the tale states that anyone who witnesses this otherworldly procession will die instantly—or be carried off by the creatures of the night. As a result, the villagers hide in their homes, lest they become victims of these supernatural invaders. Such is the inspiration for the latest album from EARTHLESS… Whereas 2018’s Black Heaven featured shorter songs and vocals from guitarist Isaiah Mitchell on much of the album—an unprecedented move for the San Diego power trio—their latest is a return to the epic instrumentals EARTHLESS made their unmistakable name on. Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons is comprised of two monster songs—the 41-minute, two-part title track and the 20-minute “Death To The Red Sun.”… All told, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons isn’t just a return to the band’s traditional format—it’s a return to their very beginnings.”

Anunnaki – Martyr of Alexandria (2021)

2021 Anunnaki Canada doom metal psychedelic rock 8 Comments

“…once the gothic space-rock bass riff and tortured fuzz of ‘Golden Gate Of The Sun’ starts up, it’s hard to dispel visions of a pair of speed-freak psychonauts locked inside a very dark room, producing lightsucking noise. ‘Cyril The Fanatic’ is another headlong plunge into the void, the filthy chug of a nuclear-powered craft burning a path through the cosmos. But the best track here is the extended ‘Cries Of Hypatia’, ambient feedback and a slow beat joined by a glowering choir of voices, building towards an impressively monumental climax.”

Papir – Jams (2021)

2021 Denmark krautrock Papir psychedelic rock 1 Comment

“Jamming has always been an essential part of Papir. Jamming in the rehearsal room, jamming in the studio, collectively jamming live and getting in to a common zone of rocking outbursts, ambient soundscapes, repetitive trances or whatever comes through. Sometimes it can just feel like a hard work of even trying to get into the zone. But mostly it’s just good times and fun, and I guess that’s why we do it. It’s all about musical energy!”
