From the new albums “Quartz” and “Quartz Bijou” available now.Just a couple weeks ago, local soul-psych beasts Fly Golden Eagle headlined the first night of the little ol’ Cream’s two-night birthday party at Mercy Lounge and The High Watt. Theirs was a lush, round, crowd-surf-inspiring set that largely featured tunes from their 2011’s totally underrated album Swagger, though there was a bit of new action in there as well. As it turns out, FGE has plenty of new material. As in, loads of it. the rock ‘n’ rollers released Quartz, a record that, according to a press release, “is a 26-song epic, a collection of songs that join together to form a narrative arc” and “lines up with the groundbreaking 1973 film The Holy Mountain.”
Quartz was released by ATO Records — the division of RCA founded by Dave Matthews and home to such acts as Caitlin Rose, Drive-By Truckers, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Old Crow Medicine Show and FGE’s sometime tourmates Alabama Shakes — and apparently, there will also be “a 12-song abbreviated version” titled Quartz Bijou. Fly Golden Eagle is offering a little preview of the record in the form of “Horse’s Mouth,” a groovy, psychedelic sidewinder.
