I wouldn’t pigeonhole this as retro-psyche exactly, but others might. Theres a low-fi original simple rock element to this that permeates, no Farfisa organs, no excessive reverb and echo (though its there) and all the other earmarks of “psyche”. I would liken this more to T Rex, or White Album era Beatles. This is closer to experimental folk, something you’d see at Terrastock or the Hemlock on a Tuesday night. For fans of Gris Gris, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3 related projects. 1) low fi folky, somber with piano, cymbals, guitar, simple vocs, devolves into a reverby cacophony of sounds for the last half 2-3) swingy low fi upbeat dirty folk rock, simple drums, guits/vocs 4) very brief snippet of a song 5) upbeat driving, fun feel, “hit” 6-7) another upbeat ditty seemingly from another era, brief 8) slower, more mindful 9) “rock” guitar, kind of a Who feel, especially if the drums were turned up 10) slower swing, almost bluesy 11) FCC @ 1:14 remaining, sorta not too obvious, a healthy fuzz a la Spiritualized 12) feedback syposium, noise 13) another simple song 14) field recording, noise, sounds like street sounds, simple as that 15) swaggery in a very low-fi manner, dirty swamp 16) clangey noise 17) feedbacky noise 18) swingy, plodding rock 19) slow swingy with vocal melody doubled up guitar, cool 20) rather stoney rock, watch false ending at ~30 seconds left cuz it comes back 21) cool looped noise, mildly melodic 22) noisey, with piano 23) more swingy folk rock, very echoey vocs 24) dirgey 25) FCCs 26) swaggery and noisey, a summation of al the above | ||
