 This debut by the Dodos has been the equivalent of a springtime love at first sight: a fleeting glance, an initial repulsion, a sudden change of heart, and for a very short time, absolute love.

 At the end of this hour of music, suspended between folk that is sometimes tribal, sometimes bucolic, and occasionally psychedelic, we find ourselves reminiscing nostalgically about the time spent together, without sentimentality, but happy to start a new day.

The Dodos' debut album 'Visiter' captivates with its fresh and hypnotic folk-psychedelic sound. The reviewer compares it to a brief but intense infatuation, highlighting its unique rhythms and moods. While acknowledging the album's short-lived impact, it remains a welcome, engaging listen. Tracks like 'Walking,' 'Red And Purple,' and 'Winter' receive special mention for their memorable qualities. Listen to The Dodos' Visiter and experience a fresh folk-psychedelic journey you won't forget.

 It’s difficult to choose a single title that exemplifies and encapsulates the Magnet’s approach to what would later be called "stoner."

 Don’t be alarmed if listening to the small masterpiece that is "Nod Scene"... gives you an insane urge to use psychotropic substances.

Songs like 'Nod Scene' and 'Black Mastermind' showcase its varied and intense sonic landscape. Dive into Spine of God and experience the psychedelic heart of stoner rock—listen now and explore Monster Magnet's iconic sound!

 I can calmly assert that 2007... should be counted among the best years in the field of psychedelia.

 Typical couch listening, with dimmed lights, tired limbs but an alert mind, perfect for getting lost in the intricate and tight passage between wakefulness and sleep.

The 2007 Wooden Shjips debut album is a standout in the psychedelic genre, blending influences from Neu, Spacemen 3, Doors, Can, and Stooges. Initially underestimated, the album proved to be mesmerizing and captivating during extended listens, perfect for immersive, late-night couch sessions. Despite a minor criticism over a track resembling a Stooges’ song, the album remains a highlight of the 2007 psychedelic scene. Listen to Wooden Shjips’ hypnotic debut and dive deep into the best psychedelic sounds of 2007!

 The fundamental elements of Black Mountain’s current sound have been reduced to two: keyboards and guitars.

 Despite the title, 'In The Future' speaks a past idiom, and doesn’t always master its terms.

The review explores the evolution of Black Mountain's sound in their album 'In The Future,' noting a shift towards a keyboard and guitar dominated style. While some tracks evoke excellent 70's heavy rock, others falter with mismatched elements and less intimacy than before. The album is seen as a parallel path rather than an artistic breakthrough, resulting in a mixed but respectful critique. Explore Black Mountain’s evolving sound—listen to 'In The Future' and decide if the journey resonates with you.

 "Os Mutantes are too much!" — Caetano Veloso on their groundbreaking debut.

Their music reworked compositions by key Brazilian artists into uniquely psychedelic forms. This album remains a timeless cultural milestone rich with surreal and captivating tracks. Dive into Os Mutantes' psychedelic journey and experience the vibrant sound that transformed Brazilian music forever.

 The spices added to the reheated soup bring freshness to the old evoked sounds, succeeding on more than one occasion in uniting timeless melodies and sincere emotional outbursts.

 "All Hour Cymbals resembles an improbable multicultural dinner where too many flavors sometimes result in nausea."

 Yeasayer are a reflection of these (musical) times: fragmented, deliberately without obvious artistic references, pleasantly melodic, and often disorienting.

Yeasayer's debut album All Hour Cymbals is a fascinating yet fragmented blend of diverse musical influences. The band merges genres from 80s pop to Indian music, creating an eclectic soundscape. Key tracks like "2080" and "No Need To Worry" stand out as highlights. However, the album lacks a unified vision and sometimes feels unbalanced. Despite this, Yeasayer shows promise as a young band with potential for growth. Discover Yeasayer's unique sound—listen to All Hour Cymbals and explore its eclectic musical journey today!

 Lush Rimbaud well represent the new wave of Italian music: rooted in their territory, yet with eyes and ears wide open to what’s happening worldwide.

 The concluding 'Flashing Elevator' is a long instrumental excursion, led by a cavernous Joy Division bass, punctuated by scraping Fugazi guitars and hypnotized by a sick synth.

Lush Rimbaud's 'Action From The Basement' stands out as a compelling Italian album with a global sound. The band blends post-punk and new wave influences with sharp production, while singing in English. Noteworthy tracks include the energetic 'Bus Stop Owner' and the instrumental 'Flashing Elevator.' The reviewer encourages breaking international biases and exploring Italian talent. Break internationalist boundaries and dive into Lush Rimbaud's unique post-punk sound—listen to 'Action From The Basement' now!

 Ben’s technical and compositional scope is so broad that it prevents him from writing 'bad' songs.

While smooth and accessible, it lacks some of the edginess of past work but remains emotionally compelling and technically strong. Highlights include intricate fingerpicking and evocative vocals. The reviewer appreciates the album’s balance and awaits future projects. Discover the rich folk and psychedelic textures of Shelter From The Ash—listen now and experience Ben Chasny’s evolving artistry!
