heavy psychedelia
Crippled Black Phoenix - New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 AD (Season of Mist)
First off, you can hardly call 50+ minutes of heavy psychedelia an EP - this release is quality AND value for money.
Serious Beak - Ankaa (Art As Catharsis Records)
My Word! Australia's Serious Beak are back - and I say a mighty 'Hoorah' to that.
Ecstatic Vision - Sonic Praise (Relapse Records)
Philidelphia's Ecstatic Praise have all the drugs. Possibly.
Selim Lemouchi And His Enemies - Earth, Air, Spirit, Water, Fire (Van Records)
Dripping in occult juices, Selim Lemouchi is back.
Tombstoned - Tombstoned (Svart Records)
What is this, some sorta joke? I suppose I did pick this one out just because, given the name of the band, the review practically writes itself.
Earthless, Joy, Hot Lunch, Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco, 24/10/2013
Y'know that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when the secretary is rattling off all the disparate social cliques united only by their love for Ferris?
Death Hawks - Death Hawks (Cargo Records)
Get out your favourite opium pipe and give yourself over to Death Hawks shamanic genius.
Mother Susurrus - Maahaavaa (Ektro Records)
I think if you licked the cover of this album, you would find it to be soaked in lysergic acid diethylamide, and you'd suddenly find youself on a colourful jaunt around Trip Town.
