Texas and its psychedelic rock—a long-standing tradition that has given rise to many great bands. With their second album, Enabilizer (P.U.G.), The Albinos are ready to write another chapter.
The Houston-based band quickly loses itself in the hypnotic swirl we’ve come to love—bubbling, warping sounds from other dimensions, with just a hint of eeriness.
There’s also a touch of pop that sneaks into The Albinos’ sound, nudging the opening of the record slightly toward a more English feel. But with “Next To You,” we’re right back in the hazy American South.
Here, “Perfect World” meanders along, while elsewhere the music stomps with force. Garage rock makes its presence known—adding flavor to what turns out to be a very solid psych rock album.
