“Take Drugs” was the name of a single by The Mushroom Club—so right away, we know what kind of mushrooms we’re dealing with. The Scottish band leans into a sleepy, psychedelic rock sound, with more than a passing nod to shoegaze. Walk Into The Light (P.U.G.) is their latest release,…

Someone clearly has a deep love for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Paddang have titled their new album Lost in Lizardland (Le Cèpe / Stolen Body), and on the first single “Pressure,” they sound exactly like it. But don’t call them copycats. The track still holds its own, with…

You can tell just from the song titles: on their new album III (Howlin Banana / Wita), Gloria are diving deep into mythology. Sonically, though, they don’t reach quite as far back—opting to settle comfortably in the 1960s. The French band plays a melodic brand of psych rock, subtly weaving…

One day, Graveyard dropped by Goat’s headquarters and found themselves in the middle of a jam session. They’re from the same neighborhood, have known each other forever—so the chemistry clicked right away. The result? A double A-side single set to be released this Saturday for Record Store Day via Rocket…

For over a decade, Throw Down Bones have fused psych rock with industrial, noise, and krautrock across their three albums. This mix creates an overwhelming intensity—especially in a live setting. Now, you can experience it at home. Live At Fuzz Club Festival 2024 (Rubber Duck) captures seven tracks from last…

For 26 years, Dead Meadow have been traveling through space and time. But last year, the band suffered a heavy loss—bassist Steve Kille passed away from cancer, leaving the band as a duo. Under this shadow, Voyager to Voyager (Heavy Psych Sounds) is a deeply melancholic album. Kille was still…

The sound of POPULATION II has always had its charm—frantic psych rock infused with prog elements, pulling off five twists in two seconds. But stretched over an entire album, it often felt overwhelming, almost exhausting, as the Canadian band set everything ablaze. With Maintenant Jamais (Bonsound), that changes. Producer Dominic…

Gnod and White Hills first crossed paths on 2008’s Aquarian Downer. Both bands share a love for psych rock, but this collaboration brought together Gnod’s dense, heavy sound with White Hills’ far-out spacey textures—creating something truly special. Clearly, they felt the same, as they continued to meet for further sessions….

Rarely has an album evoked such nostalgic feelings as the new release from Soundwire. This is pure ’90s—Loveless, Screamadelica, and Britpop all wrapped into one. Collider (Sister 9 / Little Cloud), the British band’s second album, fuses shoegaze and neo-psych into a beautifully wistful mix. We drift over old dance…

Danny Lee Blackwell has announced a new 7-inch for his Night Beats. Behind The Green Door (Suicide Squeeze / Fuzz Club) will be released on April 11, drawing inspiration from Giallo films. This influence is also evident in the video for Behind The Green Door, which marks Blackwell’s directorial debut….
