The second studio album from the ultimate 60's psych band out of Texas. Feels like a karmic death/birth cycle. Features my favorite version of "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"
"During April and May, we took a look at some of our improvisations from 2019 and early 2020. We remixed them, collaged them, and built them into songs, finding our way to Bridge to Quiet. We hope you enjoy it!" -AC
Feels is Animal Collective's sixth studio album originally released in 2005 and features all four band members - Avey Tare, Deakin, Geologist, and Panda Bear.
Isn't It Now? absolutely lands as a classic, it's mix of playfulness and earnestness, glittery pop and tessellated textures seeming to synthesize and update all that has ever made and still makes this band so compelling.
After a prolific period of experimentation, Animal Collective return with an album that achieves a peaceful equilibrium between their immersive 3D soundscaping and innate melodic charms.
Before psychedelia’s rainbow flash and rock’s stadium bloat, there was Eric Burdon’s voice — a chain-smoking growl straight out of the Mississippi Delta by way of Newcastle shipyards.

The Ar-Kaics wade in the waters of troglodyte teenbeat 60s-style punk. They backstroke in the ‘proto’ gray area eras before these subgenres of rock and roll had names or rules.
Here, the 12-string folk-rock jangle of the mid-60's Byrds is overlaid with the washed-out vocal harmonies of Ride and topped off with psychedelic drones familiar to Spacemen 3.
Considered a pylon of the "Psychedelphia" scene that also included luminaries Lilys, Bardo Pond and Azusa Plane, reviews consistently cited Syd-era Pink Floyd, The 13th Floor Elevators, Hawkwind and early-Verve as the inspirations heard on the album.
Bardo Pond’s extensive archive recordings series opens up once again with 'Volume 9', an incisive journey into their hypnotic sound. Recorded in the early 2000’s it’s a heady mix of acoustic ambience and menacing distortion.
Say I Won't is the record of a veteran band finding it's stride, stripping back the excess and finding the raw core of their sound. It comes at a time of change for Barrett, having relocated from New York to his hometown of Oxford during the pandemic.
Levitation (formerly known as Austin Psych Fest) began as a simple idea in a Black Angels tour van in 2007 - let's invite all our favorite bands and all our friends, for our version of a music festival.
Since forming in Austin in 2004, The Black Angels have become standard-bearers for modern psych-rock that does exactly that, which is one of many reasons why the group's new album, Wilderness of Mirrors, feels so aptly named.
Wilderness of Mirrors hits even more close to home, as the group recorded solely in the friendly confines of Austin for the first time in more than a decade and entrusted co-production duties to it's longtime front-of-house engineer, Brett Orrison.
