Any number of bands cite 60’s Texas psych as an influence, but rarely does a group actually capture what made those bands special.  Following their debut EP on Trouble In Mind (which we posted here), The Night Beats have expanded on the bedroom immediacy of their first recordings to create an LP that perfectly captures and modernizes the hallucinogenic and exhilaratingly demonic aura of bands like The 13th Floor Elevators and Golden Dawn.

With blazing guitar work and a razor sharp rhythm section the band mutate conventional chords & progressions into a wonderfully mind-blowing sonic sprawl. Their self-titled record is out on Trouble In Mind on 28th June.

Grab yourself Ain’t Dumbo and prepare to freak out!
