While Wild Al isn't normally intstrumental, he's dropped off a nice little 4-song release for us. This is definitely pretty heavily psychedelic, slow, and desolate, sort of leaning towards Thee Oh Sees or Ty Segall, but he lists Ventures in Space as one of the primary influences on this EP. If you've heard anything from The Space Agency, you oughta feel this one.
He's got it at a pay-watchu-want level, including free. Give it a lissen
Last time we heard from the The Okay-Men I did some sleuthwork into figuring out just who these mystery men were. Looks like this isn't a one-off side project though, we've got a full LP and in the quick sample listen I did this morning I'd say it's the best Okay/Boo-Men material yet. It's faster, harder, but it's still got plenty of that pogo pseudo-polka beat.
Surf is about riding surf boards, but some people like to ride horses. For this we have Horse Rock.
I could continue with horse-related jokes. Something about "galloping rhythms". Then I'd have to think really hard for more parallels. I'd suggest you check out their website instead, it's much funnier than whatever I would say.
The Raulis are my kind of band - half loud, rough, slightly psychedelic surf instro, half cool chicha. The two converge in their especially unique take on Pipeline. This is a really fun EP and I can't wait to hear more from them. Love the wild album art too!
