SOLD OUT Very interesting tripped out and fuzzy heavy psych release. There are some face melting tracks here and the whole band sounds freaky good. Sound quality is surprisingly adequate considering these are simply ‘rehearsals’ transferred from tape, and the press is perfect. This is totally worth checking out if you are a fan of this type of stuff and appreciate unearthed relics of the era. — Proscaline “In here lies the bones of all heavy metal ancestors. Enter at your own peril.” — a ...

SOLD OUT Teeming with infectious hooks and delicate textures, “Keady & Vallins” stacks up favorably against now heralded titans of soft pop / yacht rock and pop disco‐lite, living in the intersection between Bobby Caldwell, Steely Dan, and Saturday Night Fever‐era Bee Gees. “Keady & Vallins” is an all-too-familiar story of potential left unfulfilled — glorious pop music shunted by the impetuous thrums of a music industry stricken by decadence and a preference for high turnover and rigorous proprietorship. A tour with the Bee Gees by ...

Kicking off the 70s, The Tremeloes, once 60s pop sensations, unveiled Master, an audacious departure from their hit covers and crowd-pleasers. This self-penned opus, newly remastered with bonus singles and outtakes, delves deep into the heavier, introspective soundscapes akin to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Master stands as a testament to the band’s transformative journey into rich, singer-songwriter territory, echoing the depth and complexity of Badfinger’s work.Alan Blakley and Rick West’s guitar mastery, paired with compelling melodies, guide the album through bold explorations from the Hendrix-inspired ...

On Here Come The Dowsers, his fifteenth release, and first with Think Like A Key Music, art-ock auteur Ward White wields his elastic range to weave compelling character vignettes in a broadly cinematic Hollywood song-cycle, hopscotching through Tinseltown history, illuminating the grime beneath the glamour. Garnering comparisons to the likes of Bowie, Roxy Music, Neil Hannon, and Elvis Costello, White’s “Soaring, lyrical pop” (The New Yorker) is in full bloom on Here Come The Dowsers, continuing to evoke “Scott Walker’s scope with Paul McCartney’s playfulness, ...
