Review: Gloria – III
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…

Review: Dead Meadow – Voyager To Voyager
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…

Review: POPULATION II – Maintenant Jamais
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…
