Zone Six – Full Mental Jacket (2023)

2023 Germany space rock Zone Six 1 Comment

“Zone Six got founded in August 1997, when Dave (also known as Sula Bassana) got a concert request for Liquid Visions, but this band was not able to play the show. So Dave had the idea to form a new band just for this: Zone Six. The idea behind was to play long tranceful space- and acid-rock improvisations. Now, 26 years later, this project is still existing and has a new, dark and powerful album out. The basics were recorded within the first three days of March 2022, influenced/affected by the news of the just started Russian war on Ukraine. It took more than a year to do some overdubs and produce the whole album out of these jams/composings (in a few days/weekends).”

Kombynat Robotron – Frohe Zukunft (2023)

2023 Germany Kombynat Robotron krautrock psychedelic rock 1 Comment

“This is the band’s third release to date on Drone Rock following on from their two Dickfehler Studio Sessions albums, both of which became firm favourites of regular DRR customers. Since their last outing on DRR the band may have gone from a four to a three piece outfit but they haven’t lost any of their distinctive heavy Krautrock grooves. In fact, if anything, ‘Frohe Zukunft’ marks an evolution of Kombynat Robotron’s renown love of repetition with even looser Kosmische rhythms, pounding riffs and exploratory guitar jams which send the listener drifting into the Cosmos.”

Causa Sui – Loppen 2021 (2023)

2023 Causa Sui Denmark psychedelic rock stoner rock 1 Comment

“Each Causa Sui show is unique. Here we’re offered a different perspective of the band’s music – it’s looser, more free-flowing, and some tracks are warped into something far from their original versions, bouncing off the wooden beams on the low ceiling of Loppen with renewed energy. At one point you can hear the band calling to take a breather and let some air inside the sauna-like temperature of the show, which just weeks before seemed impossible. Loppen 2021 offers a complete set from start to finish, so since chances that you’ll catch the band live in person are slim, this is the next best thing.”

Acid Rooster – Flowers & Dead Souls (2023)

2023 Acid Rooster Germany psychedelic rock 1 Comment

“”Flowers and Dead Souls” is the second full-length studio album by Leipzig-based trio Acid Rooster, featuring six instrumental tracks that explore the depths of freethinking psychedelic music. From very quiet, spherical melodies to space jams and driving songs, the album contains a variety of different emotions and styles that are reminiscent of the spirit of German kraut and psych rock pioneers.”

London Odense Ensemble – Live at Jaiyede Jazz Festival (2023)

2023 jazz fusion krautrock London Odense Ensemble UK 1 Comment

“London Odense Ensemble is a powerhouse quintet that combines forces from the Causa Sui/El Paraiso family tree (Jakob Skøtt, Jonas Munk, Martin Rude) with the vibrant, experimental London jazz scene (Tamar Osborn, Al MacSween). On two studio full-lengths, released in 2022 and 2023, they have explored the confluence of psychedelia, improvisation and cosmic jazz. On this set, recorded at the 2021 edition of Denmark’s Jaiyede Jazz Festival, the energy is cranked up another notch or two. Comprised almost entirely of exclusive material not found on the two studio records these three sonic excursions dive head-on into the fiery side of the group’s sound.”

Agusa – Prima Materia (2023)

2023 Agusa progressive rock Sweden 1 Comment

“Agusa’s music effortlessly foliates from majestic beauty to violent outbursts and everything in between. It blends tripped-out psychedelic and progressive rock structures to instill visions of nature, the cosmos, and dreamlike passages, meandering into realms of a possibly supernatural or parallel existence. This is instrumental music where the instruments – and the people playing them – communicate directly with our hearts and minds.”

Yawning Balch – Volume One (2023)

2023 psychedelic rock stoner rock USA Yawning Balch 2 Comments

“Bob Balch here. In November of 2022 I went out to Joshua Tree for a day of jamming with the guys in Yawning Man with the intention of calling it “Yawning Balch.” No riffs were planned. We just plugged in and played. The only discussion beforehand was that Gary Arce and I wanted to mess with tons of guitar pedals. I knew that while we were jamming it sounded great, but it wasn’t until I got home and listened to it all that I realized we had something special. It’s hard to believe that we jammed for five hours and got two full length LPs and then some out of it. Every player killed it on these recordings and I’m beyond grateful to have my name involved with this legendary band. Fingers crossed they invite me back out annually for more jam sessions. I hope you enjoy these jams and please use responsibly.”

Snakes Don’t Belong in Alaska – Sounds of a Forming Planet (2023)

2023 psychedelic rock Snakes Don't Belong in Alaska UK 1 Comment

“The great Carl Sagan once said “It might be a familiar progression, transpiring on many worlds—a planet, newly formed, placidly revolves around its star; life slowly forms; a kaleidoscopic procession of creatures evolves, intelligence emerges”. SDBIA imagined what it would sound like, listening to this universal progression and this is how “Sounds Of A Forming Planet” came to be. Recorded live, these improvised performances explore the thoughts of how we came to be, through the use of Heavy psychedelia, Stoner, doom and prog rock. Consisting of 3 killer slabs of mind altering psychedelic sludge, this record sees SBDIA return to their best.”

Yawning Man – Long Walk of the Navajo (2023)

2023 psychedelic rock stoner rock USA Yawning Man 1 Comment

“Long walk of the Navajo features Gary Arce (Guitar), Bill Stinson (Drums), and the return of Billy Cordell (Bass). The Long Walk Sessions were inspired by a desert storm that hit the Joshua tree landscape that created a dark and gloomy backdrop for the bands creativity and improvisations. Blood Sand was recorded at Gary’s house by Steve Kille of Dead Meadow in Oct of 2022. It was a complete improvisation.”
