NEW MUSIC: Turtle Skull – Why Do You Ask?

Sydney, Australia psych explorers Turtle Skull hit a great hypnotic groove on this new track. There’s heavy and dark American desert psychedelia, streaked with a zoned-out English shoegaze vibe, particularly in the vocals. It lumbers and floats in equal weighty amounts, running the gamut from hard rock density to more ethereal overtones. Epic sounds abound. “Why Do You Ask? was one of the first tracks from … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Turtle Skull – Why Do You Ask?

NEW MUSIC: JW Francis – New York

We came across JW Francis for the first time last year and we were impressed by the irrepressible psych pop rush and tumbling melodies he concocted. He’s hit the nail on the head again with the recently released single ‘New York‘. He locks down the insistent rhythm and drapes it in tumbling, slightly askew, dreamy guitar lines. Wonderful stuff. “I’m a licensed tour guide of … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: JW Francis – New York

NEW MUSIC: Torrid Horror – An Ode To The Chair

Torrid Horror hail from the UK and they’ve concocted a maelstrom of a crazed sideshow attraction on this pummelling post-punk track ‘An Ode To The Chair‘. The brilliance of it lies in the way they offset the manic chaos with the sing-song, gang-chant vocals and the mid-song jerk and groove breakdown before the madness rears its beautiful tropical punk head once again. For fans of … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Torrid Horror – An Ode To The Chair

NEW MUSIC: Buddy Glass – If You Sail Out (feat. Rhiannon Back)

A steady chiming guitar sets the scene before Rhiannon Back’s (The Gaze) hypnotic and melodic incantations enter the fray on Sydney songwriter and Peabody frontman Buddy Glass‘ new single, the second taste of his forthcoming album Wow & Flutter. As a primitive Mo Tucker-indebted percussion joins the procession, there’s a clear nod to the Velvet Underground and their droning pop nuggets. While Glass’ first single … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Buddy Glass – If You Sail Out (feat. Rhiannon Back)

NEW MUSIC: Black Rabbit George – Fingers Radio

File this one under psychedelic but it’s not of the manic garage rock or pop variety. ‘Fingers Radio‘ by the Gold Coast’s Black Rabbit George locks into a liquid bass and metronomic drum pattern right from the start and averts its gaze. That synchronicity and anchor allows Paul George (Tijuana Cartel) to wander vocally, like he’s negotiating a trip or a dream, drifting in blissed-out … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Black Rabbit George – Fingers Radio

NEW MUSIC: The Earnest Spears – Liar

Straight outta the gates come The Earnest Spears with four-to-the-floor drums, wired, frantic, distorted and heavily reverbed guitar that flails and hammers in equal amounts. The vocals are pretty much indeciperable but hey, it’s all about the energy and the post-hardcore, psych-punk riff and pummel on ‘Liar‘, the first of a run of singles the Worcester, UK group have got coming in 2020. Last year … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Earnest Spears – Liar
