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
