Get your psych on.
1. Star Horse – Stranger
Delightful Stockholm shoegaze.
2. Dråpe – We Want The World
Great band. Yearning, dramatic stuff.
3. Hundir La Flota – Autopista
Madrid Motorik rock and roll with woozy bass.
4. The Raveonettes – Rebel Invasion
This newly-released Rarities track reminds me of some other great Whip It On tunes.
5. Screen Vinyl Image – Station 4
Nearly five minutes of SVI’s take on New Order meets The Jesus and Mary Chain. Pick it up exclusively on the 200,000 Gazes compilation.
6. Rangers – Conversations On The Jet Stream
Very hard to describe this one…space age slacker pop?
7. Porcelain Raft – Put Me To Sleep
“Would you do something for me…?” Huge song for fans of Engineers.
8. The Asteroid Shop – Planetary
Austin band slows it down with some groovy dream pop.
9. Trailer Trash Tracys – Candy Girl
Like a lot of tunes from their newest album Ester, but this reverb-drenched torch song is a gem.
10. Doctors – A Is For
Rainy day anthem out of the Pacific Northwest.
11. Cloud Nothings – No Future/No Past
Black clouds darken the sky. Fantastic!
12. Demonic Death Judge – Stick That In Your Pipe And Smoke It
Bring on the Finnish psych. If you dig Robin Trower, pick up this one from The Descent.
13. Atlantic Drop – Dead Souls
Love the 70s progressive bluesy psych. Lush this ain’t.
14. Parton Kooper Planetarium – Voyager
Lots of great American psych bands in this part of the podcast. Love the drums and organ here.
15. Haunted Leather – Sun It Shines
More trippy 70s-style psych.
16. Loop – I’ll Take You There
See how nicely the seminal 90s drone band fits here? Find it on The World In Your Eyes.
17. Røsenkøpf - Troth
Eastern-influenced rock and roll monster.
18. White Cloud – I Know It
Hailing from the mighty psych hotbed of San Francisco, this band gives S2 faves Tame Impala a run for their money. Track of the week, even if it’s from last year.
19. Karl O’Connor – Here And Now (English version)
Dance tune that should have been included in the Space Is the Place movie. Apparently Karl is more commonly known as Regis.
