Comment: Nowadays psychedelia undubiously. Dusted synth drones are variegated with the riffs of abrasive yet spatial guitars and more or less restrainted clatter of hi-hats and clinking of memory-evoking glockenspiel forays. At times demented shoegaze meets Ariel Pink-esque art pop, at times hypnotic guitar-based fingerpicking is wrapped up in highly sublime droning and atmospheric overflowing in the fringe area of a Black Hole. At times all is burning around the centre. The array of soul mates veers from La Monte Young and Terry Riley to Ariel Pink and Russian Futurists, from 13th Floor Elevator and Gong to Superficial Random Knowledge Porridge and Deep Magic, from John Fahey to Boy MTN. Indeed, all is positive, all is accomplished. All is infiltrated. However, you can already expect for the next surprises out from California.
