Borrowing from the sounds of the 60s with a unique spin on some classic sounds, Druid Fluids’ new album is out now. Druid Fluids is a psychedelic sonic adventure spearheaded by Jamie Andrew who recorded most of the album himself in his studio in Kaurna/Adelaide. The music draws heavily from the 60s, though Jamie pushes it to new worlds, using analogue equipment to shape and hone the sonic palette that makes up the new album “Then, Now, Again & Again”.
The concept of this album unravelled itself slowly, ending its spool right at the final stages of recording. I realised that each song served as a time capsule, though each spoke with a different narrator. Each was telling me that who we were, are & will be is ephemeral. These earlier versions of myself now often seem quite alien. A stunning debut effort from one of Australia’s brightest up-and-coming psych acts.
The timeline of this album was extensive. The inception of some of these songs came at the age of 16/17 years old; long before the intention of each song came to serve as a fragment of this demented mosaic. I was careful to preserve in the editing the person I was when I first started writing each song. I’ve felt and learned confidence in innocence and humility in reflection.
“Then, now, again & again”.
