Wooden Shjips – New Album West

San Franciscan experimental rock’n’roll quartert, Wooden Shjips, sail far into the fading sunset where the Doors open to Spacemen (3) guarding the entrance of a once familiar route occupied by the Jefferson Airplane. A place mixed with primitive ghosts dancing on a psychedelic moonscape with a cosmic whisper of Hawkwind. A rhythmic primitivism of tribal dance drone grooves and lost vortexes into the 4th dimension.

Here’s a sample from their Wooden Shjips [Bonus Disc]

New Wooden Shjips Album, West is out now..

Allah Las – Don’t Wanna Hear No More

Allah Las is a Los Angeles based band formed in 2008. Members of the surf city revisited covering the greater LA area. Throwback sounds of “The Old, Weird America”.  A 1960s type of West Coast harmony coupled with surf tune breezes rambling though a thick psychedelic garage fuzz.

“We like future music. I like what people from the 60’s thought the future was going to sound like. What happened to that future?” – Pedrum Siadatian (electric guitar, vocals)

Brightblack Morning Light

Brightblack Morning Light. The New Weird America. A picturesque vision of languid soundscapes harvesting the star filled sky. Stars. Remember those? If you can think back real hard on your childhood, there was probably a time where your dreams were based on these magical, shiny spheres. If you can’t remember, most of them dissipated along with the wishes of other city children resulting from the infecting effects of rampant pollution and artificial light. It’s hard to see the natural skyline when it’s constantly washed out. Since we’re on the subject, can we change the subject… Now.

BML are Nathan Shineywater and Rachael Hughes, both Southern souls, who drift in a swamp of atmospheric slow-mo blues slightly tinged in gospel roots.  Completely off the grid and from the land, it’s a Motion to Rejoice. A Spiritualized revivalism that is spatial, hypnotic, and laced with ambient harmony that can take you to the place of lost dreams if you let it.
