Three DeBaser reviews celebrate Jennifer Gentle’s psychedelic oddities and DIY spirit. Valende and The Midnight Room on Sub Pop earn praise for eerie charm and melodic chaos. Funny Creatures Lane is framed as a bold, non-revivalist tribute with Barrett-tinged vocals and 2000s psychedelia. Highlights include the single Take My Hand and references from country twang to Revolution 9 moods.
