I'm still drawing from Drone Rock Records for today's suggestion for the #zot2016 review.

Psychic Lemon - Psychic Lemon (Drone Rock Records)

Released in March 2016, 'Psychic Lemon' (Drone Rock Records) is the debut self-titled LP from this London band (Andrew Briston, Andrew Hibberd, George Horler, Martin Law), which boasts recording its albums in a small studio near where Syd Barrett once lived. Clearly inspired by Goat and Amon Duul, the band's sound can rather be defined as a kind of reinterpretation of progressive rock reimagined today in a modernist key, with influences harking back to post-punk and noise rock. Recorded in 2015 with special guest Dan Ellis on flute, the feeling that emerges from listening to this album is one of certain perplexity. It is frankly difficult to keep up with what is a continuous sequence of shifts in tempo in a way that feels forced and doesn't facilitate the enjoyment of the work in any way. A series of unfortunate choices makes this first attempt a partial failure. They seem to have a new album scheduled for release in 2018. We'll see.
