Interesting stuff. I'm no fan of, nor expert in, psychedelic rock, but this sounds pretty all right. The first track uses the title as its only lyric, yet it's compelling and not a little hypnotic. The rhythms are certainly engaging and seductive in a way. Gets a little wearing after a while though; much of it seems to be the same, though “Billabong Valley” and “Anoxia” change things up a little. I like “Doom City”, it definitely has something. Yeah this is all right but not really something I'd be too much into. Maybe you need to be high? Dunno. Don't see it though.

Check out more from this artist? I'll have to, as they have four other albums scheduled for release this year
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? As above

I recommended them to Lisnaholic about a year ago. Glad they are getting more exposure. They deserve more than a 6/10 imo.
