Scooter Jay - Jaywalking

Sunday, May 7, 2023 | Records | , , , , ,

A de­light­ful batch of laid-back, off-kil­ter psy­che­del­ic- and garage punk good­ness by a Toron­to group. These tunes do have some slight US pro­to punk vibe to them in ad­di­tion to pret­ty un­mis­tak­able space-/acid rock lean­ings, kin­da like a mix be­tween re­cent LPs by Jean Mignon, Peace de Ré­sis­tance or old­er stuff like Faux Fe­ro­cious, even some ear­ly White Fence - with plen­ty of egg­punk weird­ness on top. What's not to like?

Teksti-TV 666 - Vapauden Tasavalta

Saturday, February 25, 2023 | Records | , , , , ,

A new LP by that finnish group with way to many gui­tar play­ers… dun­no, i think 666 was the num­ber last time i count­ed. Here, the band is shift­ing their sound in­creas­ing­ly in­to a psych rock di­rec­tion. Es­pe­cial­ly in TJ they're div­ing head­first in­to Space Rock ter­ri­to­ry and the ef­fort pays of ad­mirably. In oth­er places, they stay true to their brand of melod­ic in­die rock, fuzz punk and noise pop with echoes of No Age, Wavves, Cal­i­for­nia X, Hap­py Div­ing and some ear­ly The Men, which they then in­fuse with sprawl­ing gui­tar drones rem­i­nis­cent of Glenn Bran­ca and 80s Son­ic Youth.
