THE BAD LIGHT & TUNA DE TIERRA - THE BAD TUNA SPLIT REVIEW


Phonosphera Records, based in Rome, has kicked their new vinyl Slipt Series with an auspicious start... The first issue titled “The Bad Tuna” joins american fuzzy blues trio The Bad Light and italian psychedelic desert nomads Tuna de Tierra, on a solid rock piece with two different but complementary approaches.

Long at last we have fresh material by The Bad Light... the band from Santa Cruz, California that released their last LP on late 2015, bring us their greatly underrated trademark blues fill with bone chilling thick fuzzy riffs and stomping primitive drums. Serving not only as a superb preview for their next LP, which I believe is already in progress, but also as a great introduction to the majestic new singer Celeste Deruisa, that came enhance the awesome vocals dynamics with her harmonious voice benefiting also from the band´s improved songwriting. With lyrics we can all relate to and that speak close to the heart adding the analog warm sound of the instruments in a hybrid between Radio Moscow and Dead Meadow, this band certainly deserves way more credited for what their doing... and I believe their next release will change that.

On the other side, we are invited to revisited Tuna de Tierra´s debut EP “EPisode I: Pilot” self-released back in the summer of 2015 and already sold out. This psychedelic trio emerged on the scene with three tracks of pure palm desert rock dusted with multiple layers of sounds and textures.
It´s a very pleasant journey with contemplative passages and atmospheric grooves along with hypnotic bass lines, entrancing drum beats and heavily effected guitar riffs coated with flanger and delay overlays. A promising debut that would lead them later on to signing with Argonauta Records for the release of their first full length last year.

CRYPT TRIP - ROOTSTOCK REVIEW

https://crypttrip.bandcamp.com/album/rootstock

Crypt Trip are a classic power trio hailing from the prolific state of Texas, trailblazers of the exciting new wave of the local hard psych scene with bands such as Fogg, Gypsy Sun Revival or Smokey Mirror. 

Already with 3 acclaimed releases under their belts since their inception back in 2013, quickly making a name for themselves around the underground circuit, the band is definitely set to take over the main street with their latest offering “Rootstock”.
Self-released by the band today on cd and on vinyl later on by Poisoned Mind Records, the sophomore LP show us how the band matured and expanded their sound without losing the gnarly “Tejas Groove” perfecting, along the way, their musicianship with intrinsic compositions. 

The volatile jams, just like before, are fueled by a highly inflammable rhythm section, with a potent mixture of frenetic drums and roaring bass lines that are set ablaze by the arsonist guitar sending incandescent sparks everywhere with dazzling solos and fiery licks but are now more refined with the addition of proggy and bluesy elements to the already formidable mix of heavy psych and proto doom the band have been known for. 

This record is definitely one for the books and will go down on history as mile stone on the revival of the good old 70´s.

When Watter first appeared fully formed in 2014 as a trio featuring founding members of Grails and Slint, most assumed the mercurial group would vanish into the ether just like the foggy echoes of sound they crafted on their debut album, This World.
 
Now they´re coming over to Europe on a tour to promote their latest LP History of the Future ending the trip in Roadburn.

SPIRAL SKIES - THE WIZARD´S BALL



Sweedish occult quintet Spiral Skies are finally set to deliver their long awaited debut album "Blues for a Dying Planet" scheduled for a spring release via AOP Records.

This one is from the debut EP " A Queendom to Come" in 2015 but you can see the dark forces at work with a idiosyncratic blend of folk, doom and 70s rock music. The kind of act one would find at a ceremony like the ones in Kubrik`s Eyes Wide Shut...

BEST RECORDS OF 2017

The year of our lord 2017 has passed and it proved to be a very fruitful year sonically speaking...

I haven´t been around as much as I´d like due to an array of reasons such as work, natural disasters, technological difficulties or laziness but we´ll keep our mission in a slow orbit through deep space sharing and reporting on the most cosmic material we find.

I still have so much stuff to ear from last year that this list will probably be updated later on, as I catch up... nevertheless, this were the releases most celebrated around here! As you know my lists are order alphabetically because this isn´t a race and there are no winners or losers!
