ive seen ned and marco mention them in passing around here, but i think this new album deserves a thread. i think PF reviewed it (around an 8 or something?) yesterday or the day before... really really quiet in most parts, but not on the awesome soft machine-esque freakout "hessesopoa". in fact, 1969 canterbury is well and accurately represented here in general.
any opinions?

Keeping fingers crossed, the Jennifers should play a couple of concerts at SWSX and from there they should start a one month tour with Dead Meadow. New York and L.A. shows are scheduled, I just hope final details will come in soon: i can easily imagine the jennifers going lost forever on one of your highways...i hope also i can make it to austin and some east coast gigs (nyc record stores here i come!) - obviously, just let us know and we will put you on the guest list.
ps Ned, Malabastardo sounds terribly good - i will suggest it to marco & alessio.

And OC, surely. ;-)
Rah! :-)

I'm sure the vocals are also an acquired taste, but they were sure cranked up on that night.

Great five piece band. Really pulled off so many of those different types of songs on the album live, and "with teeth," as my wife said. People dancing to gorgeous cover of "Blue Jay Way." Ended their set with a long improvisation piece that was total UFO Club action.
Great.

I saw them that night, too - I really liked the show (the album was a favourite of mine, too), but something about the sound that night made the vocals a bit too trebly for my tastes. That opening band was fucking awesome - Hemisphere Gauche's house band or what not! Ha!

This album popped into my head recently and I gave it a play for the first time in almost 20 years. Yowzer, it's really great! I love how the singer leans so hard into his Steve Marriott impression it becomes his own thing.
It made me think that I haven't really heard a contemporary band that is directly influenced by sixties psychedelic music or iconography for a while. So is that it? Is sixties rock/pop no longer a thing to be mined, other than say, country-revival albums etc? Would it be a bit like someone referencing 1940s music in the 2000s?
