The Skywalkers - Lord Can You Hear Us? This isn’t a new one. When you press play you might believe that it’s a 60’s lost, rare jam! Actually, this Netherlands based duo released only one album 3 years ago and that’s it. After that came the complete slilence. When i’ve first heard it a couple days ago i felt all these thrills climbing up my body and slowly digged with methodic moves a tunnel through me! Raw in production, farfisa bulding melodies, psych pop in the most original term and absolutely [...]

For Los Angeles outfit May McDonough & Company 's last single "Hell Is For Lovers" , "The Zombies-as-fronted-by-Grace Slick" is the best way we could think of to describe the track's slinky and bluesy psychedelic-pop/ rock. On follow-up release "Mannequin", MM&C take parts of that winning recipe and toss in a bit of Phil Spector-produced girl group to help frame the tale of a woman who has had it up-to-here with a less-than-satisfying beau. "I've been washing my new skeleton/ And I won’t let you underneath my skin/ Tearing me limb from limb," frontwoman May McDonough [...]

Wampire: Curiosity - Rocky Tinder and Eric Phipps make up the freaky union that is Wampire . The Portland duo are following up their 7” debut with a therapeutically disturbing LP, Curiosity , via Polyvinyl. In an era where the bulk of new music released is so much aural mayonnaise spread on the thin Wonderbread of ever staler drum-machine beats, it's truly refreshing to hear a band that can actually write an intriguing song (despite the fact that Polyvinyl claims Wampire threw the album together more or less on the spot in the studio).

Green Gerry - La La Lonely Maria #1 (Art School Conversations) The psych pop illustrated visions of Green Gerry are possesed from an irresistible lo-fi aesthetic that has always been a mark of this talented musician. His inspirations are crafted from a ’70s flower opium liquid and La La Lonely Maria #1 (Art School Conversations) couldn’t be far from that! A psychedelic pop/rock stone that feels like a forgotten classic, played in the invisible AM radio of today’s frequency and hit the imaginary [...]
"The time is suddenly right for well-crafted British pop – there’s a thirst for new century psychedelia which is where London five piece SULK fit in. Steeped in the rich traditions of classic British songwriting, the band could be said to begin where the 90s ended – or as The Guardian put it, ‘like the Stone Roses if they signed to Creation’ – with solid musicality, joyful uplifting harmonies, giant psychedelic guitar riffs and of course, tambourines. SULK mix what came before, and what’s yet to come into crushing waves of beauty, honesty and anthemic bliss for a whole new [...]
Somewhat like a primeval El Guincho this is nothing less than the perfect distillation of tropical electronica. The words are rendered meaningless for the non-Spanish speaking amongst us but it matters not a jot because ‘Cuantas Caras’ is all about the feeling and tonight that feeling is one of total joyful inebriation. Julio Gudiño plays in a Mexican indie band but by night he drives this colourful vehicle which already has a full album, Expansión, of likeminded psych swirls to its name. This’ll be stuck on repeat until the sun comes up. KD [...]
3 Greek guys decide to form a band, name themselves Baby Guru and start making trippy tunes. Their music could be described as psychedelic pop and their influences are very broad, from CAN and Aphrodite's Child to Mike Oldfield. Find... READ MORE

Cover Art Tyson Grumm "Jim of Seattle started writing songs at the piano in his unheated basement in 1980, secretly and alone. Jim has written a lot of music since then - for theatre, for the cult classic Disney video game `Nightmare Ned`, for Star Trek comic book operas, for the hell of it. He studied composition in college. He taught classes. His biggest notoriety has come through the piano piece `Welcome to Windows`, a duet with the sounds from Microsoft Windows XP. Jim refuses to define his music by a genre. He [...]
Da mágica indie-cidade de Portland chega-nos uma nova banda de nome Wampire que consigo traz uma pop psicadélica que faz bater os pezinhos de felicidade. Exemplo disto é o tema "Spirit Forest" que anda por aí a rodar pelos circuitos independentes norte-americanos. Os Wampire lançam esta semana o seu álbum de estreia 'Curiosity' e com este tema de amostra, é caso para dizer que tenho *mesmo*
"Ummagma – a Canadian-Ukrainian duo comprised of Alexander Kretov and Shauna McLarnon – deliver richly layered soundscapes and mesmerizing vocals. Ummagma’s eclectic yet harmonious potpourri of alt pop, dreampop, post-rock, post-punk, ambient/ethereal, shoegaze and space rock brings sublime resonance, beats and rhythm to create a virtual dream pop rock haven. McLarnon’s delicate airy gossamer-like vocals often draw comparisons to Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins fame with glimmers of Stereolab, The Sundays, SPC ECO, Nathalie Merchant and Slowdive. Kretov's spellbinding potion of guitar, vocals, synths, beats, programming & effects create an impeccable Floydish Fripp-laced soundscape that helps the listener take flight". [...]
I miss the times when all my wife and I seemed to do was go and see Mercury Rev. It was during their most creative patch, circa 'Deserter Songs', and they seemed destined to visit Irish shores every few months. Our relationship with the band culminated in bumping into them in a darkened indie emporium, at which point out poured my heart. The sound they were pursuing at the time was the first thing that popped into my head when I listened to Toronto's Grounders. A brand of psychedelia that is striking and for an act that is just coming [...]
"Nothing can be smoother than a parrot sippin a Piña Coloda on a sunglassed coconut until from the distance a sound comes that completely drops an anvil on the scene leaving nothing but what the coyote always had in mind for the roadrunner. The sound when you get a group of strange lovers and desert trips, put them in a room of instruments, influenced by 60s garage and psych-pop, one has the Blackfeet Braves. Arising from the shadows of northern San Diego County, different worlds collided and formed. Equipped with harmony and a steady rhythmic groove, an unprecedented sound was [...]
