Ducktails - Ivy Covered House/Undercover






Two tracks off of his new album, "Flower Lane", which was hard to determine after choosing my number one " Ivy Covered House". I love that song. I think I listened to it 20 times today and it has not gotten old. I think it is one of my favorite songs EVER. The entire album is absolutely amazing. The whole things sounds a bit less lo-fi than his earlier recordings. Still sounds like Ducktails though, psychedelic surf guitar, dreamy beach synths.

The Holydrug Couple


Oh my god, this dude is amazing. I'd like to meet him and shake it hand. I'm still too blown away to even describe this one. Definitely one of the best psychedelic albums I have ever heard and I have heard quite a few. Follow your way sounds like he was listening to a lot of Tame Impala when he wrote it. Just holy shit dude.

Note: Both Follakzoid and The Holydrug Couple are from Chile. Perhaps I should visit there one day.

White Fence - Live On Genevive



My favorite track from White Fence's new album. Tim Presley is the tits.

Follakzoid


Music for swimming through nebulae. It can be hard to balance the heavy acid baked grooves with the cosmic spaced bliss mellowness, but they did it.

Date Palms - Yuba Reprise



Wandering through the desert while under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs? This is the music for you!


Dark Bells - Wildflower



3 things I dig: psych, shoegaze/dream pop, and Australia. Welcome to those 3 things together. Ooooooooohhhhhh yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaaa...

Black Angels - Indigo Meadow


My reaction to seeing this new Black Angels album...













White Fence - To The Boy I Jumped In The Hemlock Alley



"...a psych rock slow jam that really makes you understand why at some point, “groovy” was the adulatory phrase of choice when crunchy, blissed out riffs were on the come up." -Claire Lobenfeld, Stereogum

What she said. I am so fucking psyched for this album.
