Jokers – Jokers (2011)

2011 blues rock Iran Jokers psychedelic rock 4 Comments

“Hailing from Tehran, Iran, the JOKERS were arguably Iran’s heaviest underground rock group during the early 70’s. Having visited the UK for a short period, Vaheed, the lead singer and guitarist of JOKERS returned to Iran with new ideas and influences. After hearing groups like MC 5 & Cream, the JOKERS decided to pursue this type of sound, and subsequently recorded a heavy psychedelic blues album in a garage circa 1972 using nothing more then a reel to reel and two microphones. Filled with heavy fuzz, loud wah guitars and screaming vocals, the album sounds unlike any rock artifact unearthed from Iran so far.”

The Julie Mittens – The Julie Mittens (2008)

2008 Netherlands noise rock psychedelic rock The Julie Mittens 3 Comments

“Primarily inspired by the free improvisation scene of the ’60s, the Julie Mittens are fundamentally a rock power trio with little to no interest in playing rock music. The tracks are live-in-the-studio improvisations named after the date they were recorded and ranging in length from nine-and-a-half to just over 22 minutes. Guitarist Aart-Jan Schakenbos favors extended drones, often exploring all the harmonic possibilities of a single note for several minutes at a time.”

Bëiruth – Horizonte de Sucesos (2009)

2009 Bëiruth psychedelic rock space rock Spain No Comments

“Tracking down the almost erased paths that walked the KrautRockers, the PhycheRavers and the Hippy Travellers in the Seventies, they fall into a no-song instant and continuous extemporization, when nothing repeats, assuming all the satisfaction and risks. You never play/listen again that you’d played/listened the last time… Mix their old Rock instruments with new (and not so new) audio generators and start to play with some regularity checking amazed that in every line that they open, there are some more… To infinity and beyond. Ball of Probability, Folk of Chaos, Space Boogie, Magik Mother Invocation, Infinity Loop, the Music of Spheres to heat and burn your mind… “

Koi Pond – So Higher (2012)

2012 Koi Pond psychedelic rock 1 Comment

“Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogal’s synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery.”

Transitional Phase – Transitional Phase (2006)

2006 psychedelic rock Transitional Phase USA 1 Comment

“The jams recorded here range from the first phase’s free-wheeling deep psychedelia and subterranean sonics to the quiet horror-filmisms of the second phase and the third phase’s experimental rock, taking cues from the motorik voyages of Neu! and the guitar-laced epics of Ash Ra Tempel as well as the fuzz-drenched sounds of cohorts Bardo Pond and Comets on Fire.”
