Song of the Day #17: Ketamines – The Runaround

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Here’s a song called “The Runaround” from the upcoming album from KETAMINES titled “Spaced Out.” The album drops March 6th and it’s a split release from both Mammoth Cave Records in Canada and Southpaw Records in California. Both labels offer a preorder for the record with a color edition of the vinyl limited to 100, so once those are gone you’ll be shit out of luck! If “The Runaround” is any indication, you probably won’t want to sleep on this one either. The song shows off their poppy blend of psychedelic rock, riddled with all sorts of warped and strung out sound effects that gives the track a woozy vibe. Jangly, pulsing guitar shards drive the song with a mysterious edge lurking in the shadows, which by the end of the track will only leave you aching for what else “Spaced Out” has to offer. Thankfully March 6th isn’t too far off, so sit tight my friends!

PS – Do yrself a HUGE favor and go check out these other two songs from the LP, you won’t be sorry.

The Runaround –

Genre/ Tags: Pop, Psychedelic, Garage Rock, Lo-Fi

The Summer Twins – The Summer Twins

Posted on February 8, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Burger Records has just released The Summer Twins self-titled LP. On this album The Summer Twins incorporate elements of surf and doo-wop into their garage rock sound. It was recorded entirely onto analog tape. This record has the typical retro sound of a Burger release, but it does not share the typical lo-fi quality. It sounds more like something produced by Phil Spector than something recorded in a hippie’s garage. Continue reading →

Ty Segall – Singles 2007-2010

Posted on January 31, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Goner Records recently released Ty Segall – Singles 2007-2010 on a double vinyl LP. Over the past five years Ty Segall has been one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most prolific musicians, releasing six full length albums in between a seemingly non-stop touring schedule. In addition to his long playing records, he has also released a never ending stream of 7-inch singles, split records, live recordings, and limited releases. Not only does this album collect a few of those out of print rarities into one convenient package, but it also provides an excellent overview of the musician’s early career by tracking his meteoric rise from his humble lo-fi surf recordings to the more developed sound of his later work.
