Black Honey Cult – I Can’t & Do You Know?
Out of the ashes of The Bomboras and The Lords of Altamont comes Black Honey Cult, a band so deeply steeped in L.A.’s underground music culture that, no matter what they release, they will mop up their competition anywhere on earth. The new project sounds like what the 13th Floor Continue Reading
Lord Fayrebank – Lord Fayrebank
Every Wednesday morning, I often discover new artists or bands I haven’t heard of before. This time, Lord Fayrebank appeared in my feed, and I decided to give their album a try. It’s an enchanting mix of 70s folk-rock, progressive music, psychedelic sounds, and even a hint of Brazilian influences.
Sisters of Black Mountain – Spirits of the Dead
All hail my brother for this suggestion. After spending a couple of days in Las Vegas with Ralph, he made me the year’s best recommendation so far, in my humble opinion. Sisters of Black Mountain are a Los Angeles-based psychedelic music-tinged giallo-influenced rock that sounds like French pop seasoning a Continue Reading

From Reiffenvatter Repress’ Bandcamp site: “While Can’s UK shows were widely recorded (10 of the 20 shows from the 1973 UK tour were recorded and are available in various corners of the internet) – their German dates during this period aren’t as well documented. There is only one live recording Continue Reading
Los York’s – Abrázame / Abrázame Baby
Los York’s were Peru’s contribution to proto-punk and had far more rawness and power than a lot of what was coming out of the United States and the United Kingdom during their peak, well-documented here.
Departure Street – This Broken World
With a feel that sits between Kosmische Music dabbed with touches of psychedelic and apocalyptic folk, Departure Street has a new album that has me captivated at the moment. Pure guitar bliss. From the band’s Bandcamp site: “This Broken World is the 22nd full-length solo album by A J Kimmel Continue Reading
Fleur – Jour D’été EP
Fleur is a Dutch singer who brings yé-yé music back to life with this EP, due for release on June 12. There is one track available, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear yé-yé, psychedelic pop, and garage rock melt together into something wonderful to listen to.
