Younghusband

There’s a preconception about psychedelic music that it has be made while imbibing rare hallucinogens, skinny-dipping in the dark, subaqueous regions of the soul.

Younghusband, though, tend to make do with a strong cup of Earl Grey. The band’s new album ‘Dissolver’ marks them out as one of the pre-eminent groups in the psychedelic underground, a bunch of musicians whose visceral live show is matched to genuinely absorbing songwriting.

Out on October 30th via ATP Recordings, ‘Dissolver’ was constructed via painstaking recording sessions. Thankfully, Younghusband shot some footage during the studio process ,It’s a revealing if humble document, one that displays both the magic and mundane side of life in the studio.

Loop are an alternative rock band from South London, and it’s been 25 years since we’ve heard new material. That’s a long time to be gone, a bunch of you were probably born in that time, grew up, got a college degree, now you’re out in the big wide world, trying to figure it out. Their new EP Array 1 is a great way to come back and make up for lost time in a swoop. Track opener “Procession” has an insane amount of kick and uses vocal effects in a way to texture the rest of the music’s pound assault. With each proceeding track, the music loses a traditional shape and becomes something more noisy and intense, very reminiscent of the experimentation found on albums of the past like Heaven’s End.

They’ve been away for just the 25 years but have re-appeared as if nothing has happened. ‘Array 1’ is the first of three releases by the rejuvenated psych-sters. This is as good as you could ever have dared hope with their fuzzy, woozy sound perfectly intact. Grainy, distorted tunes with microscopic precision and hypnotic motion,
