KZSU psych-space faves are back with an absolutely killer album; expect heavy distortion, reverb, and rhythms to go with all kinds of riffs, solos, and extraterrestrial sounds. Long, spacey ambient segments also feature heavily. All 6 tracks are great, play anything without worry. No FCCs detected.

RIYL: Moon Duo, Lumerians, Acid Mothers Temple, Bardo Pond, Carlton Melton

1 (0:25) Interlude; pinging, loud distorted robotic vocal sounds. Play on continuous with 2
**2 (5:50) Pounding heavy pop beginning, gets echoey and grooving before a psych rock explosion at the end
3 (5:30) Washes of sound; dreamy buzzing synths and whirrs, cymbal rolls, spaceships going by
*4 (7:28) Rocking start, loaded reverbed vox, pounding riffs; quiet, nighttime stony second half
5 (0:55) Like 1; play with 6
**6 (7:54) Space laser intro, awesome driving bassline, tons of reverb; fuzzy riffs warp into a solo
7 (7:23) Slow intro, picks up w/ fuzzy solo, ominous rhythm, robotic fem backing vox; final 2-3 minutes fade into ambience
8 (1:40) Interlude, buzzy synth sounds
9 (6:51) Grooving rhythm, pounding drums, moments of buried melodic fem backing vox
