Moaning Cities - Dr. Klein (Exag' Records)

It seems that 'Dr. Klein' is a successful TV series, but why Moaning Cities decided to name their latest album after it is a mystery to me. Hailing from Brussels, one of the most significant bands in the Belgian neo-psychadelic scene and a key player in the Belgian label Exag' Records, as well as direct organizers of the psychedelic festival in their city, Stellar Swamp. 'Dr. Klein' was released last year and is a truly unique neo-psychedelia album, in the sense that despite some references to the Black Angels or BRMC, it remains, in my opinion, a fairly original work in a world where there are indeed a lot of 'duplicates' (some might say 'copycats,' but I don't think they are merely copying; if someone does something you like and you play, then you try to recreate the same kind of sound, it seems quite normal to me...). Garage, acid, and rich in some bluesy nuances and convincing vocal performances by the two vocalists, siblings Valerian and Juliette Meunier, 'Dr. Klein' is one of the most interesting records I have dug up from last year 2016, and I suggest it to you here on a silver platter as if it were the head of Saint John the Baptist, martyr.
