100 Songs In 100 Hours: 85 – Murals

Louisville, KY trio Murals write record and live in a house on a hill in the not so swank part of town – the type of place that acid trips and all day jam sessions go hand in hand. The results are an ever present body of slow churning psychedelic folk that wouldn’t be so surprising in your hippie dad’s record collection or buried deep … Continue reading 100 Songs In 100 Hours: 85 – Murals

100 Songs In 100 Hours: 83 – Pet Sun

Canadian psych-rockers Pet Sun’s brilliant new EP Shade Driver is a doom laden, stoner garage starter kit fully equipped with some riffs, some poppy goodness, and a bit of doom. It’s a grab bag of sweets – some more sour than others. From the apocalyptic headbanger Dark Planet written for a stoned Darth Vader to Zenifer, their bite sized good vibes pop track which clashes a … Continue reading 100 Songs In 100 Hours: 83 – Pet Sun

100 Songs In 100 Hours: 77 – A Nighthawk

100 Songs In 100 Hours: 59 – Caviare Days

As Caviare Days would put it, take some North American surf, South American tropicalia, psychedelic fuzzy guitars, floating vocals and a tough-to-beat kinda groove, mix it all in and what you get is pretty much exactly what this band is all about.

100 Songs In 100 Hours: 58 – Electric Eye

Norway might seem an unlikely home for traces of the golden psychedelic reveries of the 60s and the lyrical and scenic prog-rock of the 70s, but these are alive and kicking in Electric Eye’s music. Moreover, their new album Different Sun also adds a dose of motoric, German sounds, plus Indian drone music and over 40 minutes take the listener on seven journeys, all drenched … Continue reading 100 Songs In 100 Hours: 58 – Electric Eye
