Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2024

Figured it was time for one of these.

Right now I'm really digging the latest from Hibushibire album, Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye.

"Ayahuasca Witch Abduction" is the freak-out centerpiece here and is great, but I keep coming back to "Tomorrow Never Ever Knows", the almost Beatles cover.

More suggestions this year, please.

Yeah that's good stuff, as is Riot Season's work in general.

Indeed! Looking forward to checking out the new Dope Purple & Berserk album.

I know we excited "stoner" from this thread title a few years back, but fans of Elder and King Buffalo might find a lot to like in the new Mr. Bison record:

i don't want to step on jon's post, but is this the thread where we can talk about the Austin, Texas band Water Damage

Step away! The whole point of this thread is to share more recommendations. If it's just me posting it'll just sink away really fast, clearly.

Haven't heard anything about Water Damage, but I'm going to check out one of those live recordings.

For recorded music, start here: https://waterdamage12xu.bandcamp.com/album/repeater

New album out in a couple of weeks!

Water Damage is so good, thanks for the tip!

I need more recommendations folks, especially jonesing for some long form epic cosmic psych-jazz guitar stuff.

my pals Stella Kola played our store anniversary show. i wish you could have heard how good it sounded. willie lane played too but he was trying out some new songs and didn't want video. tony pasquarosa did his The Eye set. so great. Noise Nomads was first. it was so nice to see everyone. the new Stella Kola songs sounded awesome. can't wait for a new album.

That's cool! I liked the first Stella Kola album a lot, can't wait to hear new stuff from them.

This set from Water Damage is 100% hell yeah!

Really digging the self-titled debut from Kyosaku, a guitar/bass/drums trio from Stockholm. Two long-form killer jams.

Quick note that the Finnish label 267 Lattajjaa, who released a ton of stuff during the CDR days of the 2000s in particular, has put up a slew of its back catalog on Bandcamp at name-your-price, so:

Separately, sad news going around that Dean Roberts of White Winged Moth and Thela has passed.

just caught Chris Forsyth's trio Basic yesterday afternoon and no surprise it was fantastic

https://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/this-is-basic

Very bummed I won’t be able to catch the Bay Area stop, will be out of town.

This is Basic is great!

otm, it's really good. an unexpected detour for Forsyth, but it works so well!

it has a sneaky New Order vibe underneath it all that I really like.

I will be reading tonight before the big Stella Kola show at Roundabout Books. It's the best space. Buy a book. See the best band. You should come!

Very cool! And we should start a new thread!
