Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2014-06-25
Garage rock meets psyche-drone. Acid Baby Jesus and the Mary Chain, so to speak. Slower paced, more mindful, but swaggery testosterone fueled. Many songs low-fi droney plods into LSD fueled darkness. Australian band, good healthy strangeness– Eastlink is a stretch of freeway outside Melbourne. Nice cover art.

1) (4:01) mid paced swagger, singalong chorus and big fuzz lends epic quality
2) (3:45) pounding feel, beat, instrumental, very fuzzed out psyche
3) (7:24) begins quietly, psychedelic fade-in, instrumental that builds in a droning weird way, blends into next so ends cold (play together)
4) (1:55) comes out of previous, cool strange low fi noise
5) (4:00) head nodding rockin, mid paced
6) (2:54) tom tom beat, dirge, weird
7) (1:32) plodding, with sleigh bells that sound more like ankle chains in a torture chamber, low fi
8) (3:29) cool swingy twangy rawness, walls of noise, vocals are desperate
9) (4:49) chiming chorused guitars, droning plod, a beat appears at 2.5 minutes in but continues the heavy noisey plod
