“Psychedelic” Reviews

Arguably Duncan Sumpner’s most shambolic release to date, though no less intriguing or beguiling for it.

There’s a hint of darkness beneath the dreaminess that makes Chasms’ music all the more captivating.

This is music for ambling through wide open spaces that aren’t encumbered by the detritus of urban sprawl.

With its blend of dub music and dream-pop, Chasms’ latest album is shadowy and seductive.

MagentaMantaLoveTree is a sprawling, uneven album that’s by turns fascinating and frustrating, impassioned and inconsistent.

A chilled, challenging psychedelic album that will reward the patient listener.

Duncan Sumpner’s first album in five years proves just as beguiling as his earlier releases.

It’s difficult for me to listen to these songs and not imagine that I’m listening to music culled, in some fashion, directly from the duo’s long-lost childhood memories.

The Length of the Rail is a beguiling listening experience that rewards repeat listens.

Aerial Days is full of tiny shimmering moments of beauty.

The self-described “world’s only indie stadium band” deliver an album that’s as bombastic as it is sincere.

The album’s awkward-yet-earned shortcomings, much like its audio imperfections, only make it more affecting.

It has the operatic rock quality of The Who or Pink Floyd with the sensibility to rock à la Radiohead.

Blissful-yet-bittersweet psychedelic music that is bound to conjure up some childhood memories.

Though not without its flaws, the album has plenty that impresses with breathless creativity and beauty.

They sound a lot like a really heavy rock band that is taking their liberty to stretch out their arrangements.

This CD is actually a collection of demos that The Action were shopping to labels in the zeitgeist of 1967.

Considering the spacious, trippy sounds that Suntan have taken a liking to, there’s not a lot of experimentation going on here.
