The Australians with sunshine in their hearts are back: Babe Rainbow will release their new album, Slipper Imp and Shakaerator (p(doom)), on April 4. As a preview, the band shares the single Like Cleopatra along with an accompanying Rock Movie. As always, Babe Rainbow delivers delightfully trippy psych vibes.

In September, Kit Sebastian delighted us with the wonderful “New Internationale.” The London-based duo blended sounds from around the world and coated them with a vintage psych filter. Now, they are back with a new song. “Enkaz” (Brainfeeder) is dedicated to the late grandfather of Merve Erdem, one half of…

It’s hard to believe that the cheerful sound of Bananagun is rooted in personal hardship. So vibrant and psychedelic on the surface, yet the wounds beneath occasionally seep through. On Why is the Colour of the Sky? (Full Time Hobby), it’s clear at times that not everything is as colorful…

A perfect match: L’Eclair and Klaus Johann Grobe, champions of Swiss organic groove, have come together to create Lotus (Stone Pixels). And they’re not alone: Jarvis Taveniere (Woods) handled the mixing, with Almachrome on mastering. The result? A soothing, cosmic track. Lotus (ft Klaus Johann Grobe) by L'Eclair

Enhancing live recordings with added details—sounds like a solid plan, right? That was the approach taken by ACID ROOSTER for their new album, Hall Of Mirrors (Tonzonen / Little Cloud / Cardinal Fuzz).

In just over three weeks, on November 8th, Bananagun will release their new album “Why is the Colour of the Sky?“ (Full Time Hobby / Anti Fade / P-Vine). Ahead of the release, the Australian band has shared one final single. “With the Night” starts off unusually straightforward, featuring a…

Goat have been particularly prolific lately. Just a year after “Medicine”, the Swedish band is set to release their next album, “Goat“ (Rocket Recordings). Self-referential from the title down to its core, the album reflects an inward focus. The band adopts the symbol of the Ouroboros—a serpent or dragon eating…

Sonically, the roots of The Stevenson Ranch Davidians lie in 60s psych-folk. However, they now seem to be moving away from that, as their new single “Shine On“ (Little Cloud) suggests. It’s a fairly modern rock song with a psychedelic touch, but it feels much more grounded. This track serves…

A bit of peace and relaxation in chaotic times is always welcome, and Nice Biscuit delivers this perfectly. SOS (Bad Vibrations / The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway) reinforces that once again. Six years have passed between their debut and this second album. In between, there was a double EP…

K. Martin and Merve Erdem, as Kit Sebastian, truly embody the concept of world music. They effortlessly blend everything with everything else, switching countries and moods in seconds, all with a remarkable ease.
