Bluesy fuzzed-out psych rock from a swashbucklin’ Melbourne five-piece featuring two members of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. A really solid album front to back. It’s hard to pick individual tracks, but start with 4, 6, 7, 5, or 11. All tracks FCC clean. RIYL: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Pond, Malachai

*4. (3:17) High-energy with raw vocals and insistent ringing guitars
*5. (4:00) Slow-building rootsy piano ballad punctuated by crescendos of fuzzy guitar, synthesizer, and crashing percussion
*6. (3:40) Swingy piano rock with slide guitar elements and great vocals
*7. (3:09) Feisty rocker with dense layers of guitars and standout solos

10. (3:44) Scorching blues rocker with aggressive guitars, wild harmonica, and snarled vocals
