Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2013

Fantastic band. Saw Brendan a few weeks ago & he never mentioned this was happening. Without wishing to appear rude, slightly surprised there was a demand for it, but hopefully some more people will catch on to it this time round.

Posted this on another thread, but definitely relevant here as well. NYC Taper just posted the Tom Carter set from Hopscotch, and while I tuned in live I was totally blown away, one of my favorite things I've heard this year. Looking forward to checking it again:

listening to the new Food Pyramid album, Ecstasy and Refreshment. not bad.

While waiting for that FULL Tom Carter set to download (just listened to one song streaming so far) I checked out this upcoming Spectre Folk song, and damn if it isn't pretty great. Lots of guitar, and a pretty surprising line-up to me at least (I knew he had some of these folks lined up, but not all of them) of Nolan, Peter Meehan, Aaron Mullan, Mark Ibold, and Steve Shelley:

Been loving this new track from Albuquerque band YOU.

They're touring throughout October and November for anyone whose interested.

oooooh, thank you for sharing this. lovely. perfect for the fall weather.

Yeah, that Tom Carter set is so good. Apparently he plays some stuff that will be on a forthcoming Three Lobed record, which has me pretty excited for the record.

not exactly smashing the drone canon but p. cool:

Total Life - Radiator (side A): http://youtu.be/VrRNsr6RP0k

food pyramid used to be from mpls but think they/he isn't anymore

Comets Ov Cupid:

I heard of the band on Fbook thru Ed Ackerson (Polara, BNLX, 27 Various) who said that they were still Mpls.

speaking of which, new Brute Heart on their bandcamp is p decent-ish psych/soundtrack music, I dont know the whole deal but I think it was scored to the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

I was just reading thru rolling time travel and it looks like Lamp had been posting about F Pyramid like 8 months ago...

this band doesn't sound nearly as freaky as i expected them to based on what i read about them, but i like their sound even if it's all a little smooth for me
the youtube's instrumental intro part is a little more stretched out so i think maybe i like the music more than the vocals, but i bet lots of people would like the vocals better than i do
anyway, wasn't sure where to put this so i put it here

i've played that one Food Pyramid song on my radio show like 6 times but never heard any of the rest of the record. is it all like that-ish? all as good? i love that track.

yeah it is! they did it live in a park where they showed the movie and they played along but i couldnt go :(

That wouldve been cool

xp :alpine, um it's p hazy & shoegazey, rhough not quite the solid chunk of drone that Dexedream is, my there are some electronic influences as well. Probably my next favorite track is The High Life, which has an Afrobeat vibe to it

This is really making my day so far. Not really psych, but the players are all vets of some great stuff over the years. Members of Pelt, Michael Morley, and Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides jamming on a gamelan. It's recorded pretty well, so you get some great heavy bass tones amidst all of the usual gamelan loveliness:

Bumping this so folks don't sleep on it. This is just a beautiful recording, so many tones on tones ....

Really nice afternoon vibes.

Yeah, I have listened to it about 7 or 8 times in the last two days, all in the afternoon pretty much.

WFMU just sent out a link to this pre-Comets On Fire psych blowout group Tonal Shrine. Haven't even seen who besides Chasny was in it, but some nice heavy out guitar stylings (as expected):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=B8Qd6GAEyKs

checking out the pelt part wild gate thing!
that tonal shrine thing is cool -- the comets on fire dude's label is doing some very nice stuff relevant to this thread - http://www.silvercurrentrecords.com

Yeah, I am going to go down that Silver Current rabbit hole at some point, but not quite yet.

I love that Pelt Part Wild Gate recording, hope I can get a copy of it at some point. It's gonna sell out for sure.

yeah i haven't dug too much into the silver current stuff, but i really like the idea of it -- more bands should do stuff like that, limited runs of radio sessions, live "bootlegs" etc.

Yeah man, live is where it is at for so many bands/musicians (for many of the ones I love at least). When their best live sets get documented it is really exciting.

Three Lobed just posted this as a way to announce that physical copies were almost sold out, and I am listening for the first time. A couple tracks in and I am resoundingly digging it: Tom Carter & Bardo Pond jamming circa 2003:

http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/4-23-03

They recorded it at the Bardo space, not live, so it is a clear studio recording.

Heavily into this. I gotta get more Tom Carter-related records.

yeah, I love that one. have gone back to it many times over the years.

(I don't't feel qualified to start a Rolling 2014 edition.)

Yeah, you. (We still have a few weeks of madness here...)

coworker totally geeked over golden dawn, recounted history of austin psych. i now have some of there stuff to check.

it's a little fussy sounding but i like the jacco gardner lp i have.

thiers

Is there a rolling ambient/drone/electronic thread or does that get lumped in with this thread every year?

there's also the time travel thread, which exists outside of genre boundaries (and time)

To be fair there will be a 2014 edition and that show will probably be mentioned in it.

this was such an insane set. so loud. i didn't know video footage existed until now. a storm of bunny majik. i'm in the back on the floor drinking.
