Causa Sui Return With New LP ‘From The Source’, Out In June; Listen To Single “Sorcerer’s Disciple”

It’s been nearly 4 years since the mighty Danish rock quartet Causa Sui released their last album. In November of 2020 the band, which consists of Jonas Munk, Jess Kahr, Rasmus Rasmussen, and Jakob Skøtt, released the Gábor Szabó-influenced Szabodelico. It was a departure from the band’s previously psych-heavy explorations on albums like Vibraciones Doradas, […]

Ivan The Tolerable Trio : Infinite Peace

Oli Heffernan, aka Ivan The Tolerable, isn’t one to chill and take some down time. He’s a musician on a mission, and that mission is to dive into the deep end of the pool and see how far down he can go. Dig deep and explore. His music is a crossroads of heady jams, psychedelic […]

Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Return IN March With ‘Magnetic Sunshine’; Listen To Lead Single “La Séance”

Switzerland’s Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E. have vibrated into our timeline via some mid-to-late 60s ethereal slipstream. Locking into serious grooves that could just as easily be heard emanating from some underground club in 1967 or from some psychedelic 007 flick, these Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E. know how to groove a bongo and engage a fuzz pedal. And […]

Ty Segall : Three Bells

Ty Segall has covered a lot of musical ground over the last 15 years since he emerged from the California garage rock scene. The guy doesn’t seem to ever take a break; whether it’s solo albums, collaborations, or even soundtracks Segall doesn’t rest. You’d think he’d start repeating himself at some point but that’s not […]

Ivan The Tolerable Returns With ‘Under Magnetic Mountain’, Out 10/6; Listen To “Three Of Pentacles”

Oli Heffernan, aka Ivan The Tolerable, is a force to be reckoned with. His brand of droning psych rock and hallucinatory vibes can be heard on a prolific discography that runs the gamut between psychedelic electronic swirls to hazy ambient to guitar-driven jams. Heffernan makes the kind of music you feel in a visceral kind […]

Futuropaco : Fortezza di Vetro

The world of Futuropaco, the Italio psych musical project of multi-instrumentalist Justin Pinkerton(Golden Void/The Roots Of Orchis/glass parallels) is like the wind in your hair as you race a Vespa through the cobblestone streets of Northern Italy. Tight jazz drumming, fuzz guitars, and ethereal keys carry you along on a psychedelic slipstream. It’s a sophisticated, […]

London Odense Ensemble : Live At Jaiyede Jazz Festival

When you’re as tight, forward-thinking, and exploratory as London Odense Ensemble it’s hard not to keep striking while the iron’s hot. The five-piece fusion/cosmic jazz collective is made up of Danish musicians Jonas Munk(guitar), Martin Rude(bass), and Jakob Skøtt(drums); as well as London-based Tamar Osborn(saxophone, winds) and Al MacSween(keyboards). A fruitful recording session back in […]

Temples : Exotico

Temples dropped their debut Sun Structures in 2014, perking ears with their retro look and sound, locking into the psych pop/rock resurgence brought to the mainstream by Kevin Parker and Tame Impala just a few years earlier. Their 70s haircuts and Partridge Family-adjacent outfits matched perfectly with their slightly woozy but pop-centric sound. Temples has […]

The Crooked Whispers : Funeral Blues

On a random “new releases” search I came acrosss this L.A. psych/doom band The Crooked Whispers. I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for, but the skull with the sword through it, demonic stone cross, and sepia-toned feel of the album cover won me over. They had just released a new album called Funeral […]

Unknown Mortal Orchestra : V

Ruban Nielson arrived on the indie music scene back in 2010 with his Unknown Mortal Orchestra project in an air of mystery. This lo-fi project made songs that sounded as if they’d been locked in a storage locker for 40 years; musty, muffled tracks that were equally built for grooving and for dropping out. Garage […]
