Great new set from this long-running psych rock group out of Austin Texas that feature Lisa Cameron of Venison Whirled/3 Day Stubble et al. The group combine primitive, almost Mo Tucker-style drum tattoos with garage band fuzz and a ton of modal weight, all cut with the kind of primitive delivery more associated with ’72 private press sides than contemporary jam bands. There’s a nod to Hawkwind and yer favourite biker side in the way that the twin guitars dissolve into woozy UFO tones and the group have a way of collapsing song structures that feels as righteously wasted as anything by Nicodemus.

New live album from this legendary Texan psych group featuring Lisa Cameron, Joel Crutcher, Bobby Baker and SL Telles. Compiled over a bunch of dates and with a variety of devices across late 2009 this one covers all the bases, from mantric raga-fixated psych through post-Hawkwind feedback and electronics touch-downs and even some Satanic metal that could  pass for your favourite UK occultists circa 1974. Comes with a large fold-out zine featuring tour diaries, doodles and assorted ‘awkward moments’. Hand-numbered edition of 100 copies.
