Walrus -- Goodbye Something

   Walrus the band that I've seen more times than I could count on two hands and a couple toes.  There's a kind of Ty Segall 60's indie psych pop feel with an east coast punkish Eric's Trip style that has Slint-y math rock time changes but with a rhythmic pulse, it's a tall fuckin' order, but these guys pull it off in spades.  As a true believer in Walrus just you wait 'til you see their live set to get into the powerful essence of their sound, this EP is good medicine when you're in withdrawals!

Red Red Meat -- Jimmywine Majestic

   Pretty much sounds like an album of Jason Lowenstein songs while he was in Sebadoh.

Royal Trux -- Cats And Dogs

  This album was done a decade before the grungy blues duo was ever a thing, but with a less dateable sound and more junkie weirdness.

Broadcast -- Haha Sound

  A mix of Stereolab meets Ladytron, there's really no other way to put it.

The Deviants -- PTOOFF!

  Just imagine if Syd Barrett, while he was in Pink Floyd, was more of a beatnik'd, hard edged 60's punker, 'cause that's what you have here ... funny enough the band, save for the singer, went on to form the Pink Fairies. 

Flower Travellin' Band -- Satori


  What if the first two Sabbath albums had a freeform rhythmic pulse, rather than a sludge through molasses, you'd have the Flower Travellin' Band's Satori!

The Red Crayola -- The Parable Of Arable Land

  The Red Crayola are the Sonic Youth of the 60's, these guys preempted noise, punk and indie rock with one fatal swoop ... kinda fuckin' amazing, if you ask me!
