  1. 15 July 1986 saw the release of the debut album "Sound Of Confusion" by Spaceman 3.

    From the 80s british underground with their love of MC5, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Stooges they would reinvent noise in music.

    "It boosts the value of unlit rooms, unpaid debts and unfeigned terror and it would rather tackle the gradients than settle for level best."

  5. New #review today: "#ThinkLikeAKeyRecords continues its run of archival excavations with The #KibboKift - The 1976 Rock Musical by #MaxwellHutchinson and #JudgeSmith (best known as a co-founder of #VanDerGraafGenerator). The concept is undeniably compelling: a dramatization of the eccentric British youth movement that evolved from pastoral, quasi-mystical idealism into something far more ideological. On paper, it sits squarely in the lineage of S.F. Sorrow, Tommy, and even The Kinks’ Preservation." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #ProgressiveRock #RockMusical expose.org/index.php/articles/

  11. Druidess – Trip Meadow Review By Creeping Ivy

    When it comes to discerning the difference between doom and stoner metal, I subscribe to the Ned Flanders school of thought. While doom tends towards darker atmospheres at a slower pace, stoner metal generally grooves with a chiller vibe. Now, there are (at least two) exceptions, and it gets kind of tricky, one of which is the compound stoner-doom genre. This label nicely fits Druidess, who have become a staple of the UK doom and stoner scenes since the release of their 2024 EP, Hermits and Mandrakes. Two years later, this Newcastle upon Tyne quartet has finally dropped its independently-released debut LP, Trip Meadow. Whether a British stoner-doom scenester or a newcomer, you’re surely wondering whether Druidess’s musical trip feels like strolling through a meadow or slogging through a jungle.

    Druidess travel through the crevices of Mount Doom and the streets of Stonerville, but they also haunt the alleys of Psychedelphia. Guitarist Daniel Downing powers this English engine, doling out an array of Sabbathian riffs that brood, gallop, and descend, often in the same song (“A Forest Witch’s Daughter”). Beneath Downing is drummer Sam Armstrong, who hits hard but sprinkles in peppery jazz accents, keeping things rhythmically dynamic (“Descended from Giants”). The highlight, however, is vocalist Shonagh Brown, who knows how to hold a straightforward verse and develop a sticky chorus (“Knightingales”). Brown claims Joan Jett (The Runaways) as a major influence, but I also hear Laura Donnelly (King Witch) in her penchant for effortless power.1 Draping Druidess’s stoner-doom core in a psychedelic haze is keyboardist James Hill, whose organ plinks owe a debt of gratitude to The Doors while recalling a contemporary band like Green Lung. If the presence of organ sounds insufficiently psychedelic, then you’ll be glad to hear that a saxophone occasionally moans melancholic melodies2 (“Trip Meadow,” “A Witches’ Sabbath”). Aesthetically and performance-wise, Trip Meadow brings home the goods.

    The songwriting, however, sometimes sails the Inconsistent Sea. The songs hovering around 4 minutes deliver memorable jolts of Iommian riffs and Jettian choruses (“Mandragora,” “The Hermit of Druid’s Temple”). Even when Druidess expand to the 6–7 minute range, they usually do a good job balancing subdued excursions and tempo shifts with solid songcraft (“The Forest Witch’s Daughter,” “A Witches’ Sabbath”). A few tracks, however, could’ve definitely been pared down, the major example being the 10-minute title track. “Trip Meadow” opens with a sultry saxophone groove before reducing to an ominous organ line obliterated by a crushing doom riff. From there, it takes too long for the song to get to its good (not great) chorus. At around the 8-minute mark, however, Druidess goes off on gothic riff variations, variations that would’ve hit even harder were they to have come sooner.

    I must also mention that Trip Meadow shares much in common with Druidess’s previous jaunt. Five of the album’s seven songs, in fact, appear on the Hermits and Mandrakes EP. Druidess does sonically improve these cuts for Trip Meadow, especially the vocal mix. Whereas Brown sits awkwardly atop the band on the EP, her voice feels prominent but porous on the LP, commingling with the fuzzy guitar tones while still carrying the tunes. It is disappointing, however, that roughly 70 percent of the material here exists on another release. The two new songs, though quite good, are not the strongest material on display. As discussed, “Trip Meadow” embodies enormous potential only partly realized. Meanwhile, “Descended from Giants” contains mighty fine bass-work, a neat pseudo-breakdown, and killer concluding wails, but it also retreads ground already covered.

    Trip Meadow trips in a few ways, but ultimately, it’s a trip worth taking. If you’re already familiar with the Hermits and Mandrakes EP, the debut LP will probably feel like a tedious (albeit sonically improved) trek through well-worn terrain. If you’re like I was, however, ignorant of the EP and desiring of quality stoner-doom, then you should definitely take a stroll through Druidess’s comforting meadow of fuzzed-out riffs and fantastic vocals. At 41 minutes, Trip Meadow gets away with its redundancies because it sounds so good. If subsequent musical adventures tighten the songwriting while exploring experimentation under a cozy psych aesthetic, Druidess may find Greatness as a future destination.

  14. New #review today: "“Pasteline Dream” doesn’t just open #DesolateEcstasy — it reframes #SchizoFunAddict’s entire history as something half-remembered, half-invented, rooted in the ghost of Desolate Ecstasy, the band-that-never-was that now gives both song and album their conceptual frame. What began as that fragment becomes a fully realized aesthetic thesis: a sun-drenched throwback wrapped in effortless West Coast psych." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

  16. The Beatles - Rain | (Official Video Alternative)

    60 years ago today, The Beatles released a song that quietly changed the future of psychedelic rock.

    While the world was captivated by “Paperback Writer,” the real sonic revolution was hiding on the B-side: “Rain.”

    Recorded during the sessions that would lead to Revolver, “Rain” was unlike anything The Beatles — or anyone else — had created before. With its hypnotic bassline, swirling textures, backwards vocals, and dreamlike atmosphere, the track captured the feeling of a mind expanding in real time.

    John Lennon’s vocal was famously manipulated by playing the tape backward, creating an eerie, otherworldly effect that would become one of the earliest examples of the studio itself becoming an instrument.

    “Rain” wasn’t just a B-side — it was a glimpse into the psychedelic future. It pointed the way toward the sonic experimentation that would define Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and the explosion of psychedelic music that followed.

    Six decades later, it still sounds like a portal opening.

    - But we sat on our porches and we didn't question a thing

    and then the rain came
    and then the birds fell
    and then the deserts dried
    and we all found someone to blame"
