Given that everyone in Vermont has the same area code - the state's population is only 600,000, after all - I could have easily copped out of spotlighting a single city in Vermont; the small state's fraught with interesting, tight-knit scenes like Brattleboro's punk nucleus and Bennington's folksier inclinations (shouts Mountain Man ). But, Burlington, for its size (40,000, good enough to be the biggest city in the state), is Vermont's unnaturally dense music hub; best known for launching Phish into the world, Burlington's maintained a robust music atmosphere since well before they got big, thanks to the constantly-refreshing [...]

Radar Eyes | photo by Lily Chou If you are as eager as we are for Radar Eyes ' upcoming HoZac full-length to be released, then we have some more fantastic news. The fuzzed up psych rockers and HoZac released yet another track to stir our curiosity called "Summer Chills." "Summer Chills" mixes swirling 60s mystical guitar tones with upbeat surf rock rhythms. Singer Anthony Cozzi gets all soulful preacher on us with his distorted, floating vocal harmonies. After a week full of black [...]

Mexican Summer just keeps doing it for me as far as psych releases go. Their next offering to the world is from The Vacant Lots , a band from Burlington Vermont with such a sweet psychedelic sound that I was instantly hooked. Its easy to get lost in this track as each listen brings out something new that wasn't heard before as layer after layer of sound blends together. The single is out now and can be found here with another pysch-heavy track on the B-side. Confusion

Photo by Philip Cosores After premiering stills from their new concert film and seeing them on tour , One Thirty BPM has become quite familiar with The Black Angels and their retro-psych sounds. We have also started smoking salvia, but that was more to be like Miley than to be like The Black Angels. Either way, The Black Angels sound awesome when you're physically unable to get off the ground. A good place to pick-up some for yourself could be the Austin Psych Fest, ther fourth annual celebration of trippy music organized by the [...]
My friends Trip Inside This House and What I Heard Today turned me on to yet another amazing Chicago offering - The Vacant Lots . If y'all is smart, you'll turn your attention from Brooklyn or Austin or wherever the fuck and keep your crosshairs locked square on Chicago because that scene is killin' it right now. Nothing difficult here - triumphant yet minimalist JAMC, Loop, and Spacemen 3 (fittingly they've toured with Spectrum) sonic assault dark stoner rock - no-wave as realized by the ever-present Bo Diddley riff. No, these guys just aren't eatin' [...]
