Melbourne psych/surf quintet Water Bear have just released a ripper of a new record in EP “Purple Jake”, the follow-up to their 2015 crazily titled debut Quackadilly Blip.
There’s a loose cosmic theme kicking things off here with the cover art and twangy opener ‘Interstellar Confusion’, which soon gives way to the more rollicking moments of ‘Simon Says’ or ‘Madhouse’, and the silken Eastern influences of ‘Good For Business’.
The lengthy semi-title track of ‘GodSpeed (Purple Jake)’ closes out a excellent varied little record with aplomb, making it very easy to jam this one on repeat as each song continues into each track.
Purple Jake EP is out today through C’mon Records,
