Psychedelia from Greece on Fuzz Club.

Acid Baby Jesus - Lilac Days (Fuzz Club Records, September 29, 2017)
Formed in March 2009 by Noda Pappas, Markos Mazarakiz, and Tili Stronis, Acid Baby Jesus is a garage psychedelia band from Athens, Greece, which released their third LP on Fuzz Club Records last September 2017. Although the name might evoke mystical sounds and acid rock, the band actually has a typically straightforward garage sound and alternates more rock-driven tracks with what I would describe as delightful psychedelic ballads and glimpses of pop serenity. The album opens with the title track, a garage psychedelia piece with the atmosphere and flavors of the California west coast. "No Such Thing As Twice" is a kind of psychedelic rock and roll ballad featuring delightful and minimal horn arrangements, while "Me & Panormita" and "Guide Us In" are garage rock tracks with brighter tones and rougher sounds. "Faces of Janus" is a psychedelic pop ballad built on guitar arpeggios and straightforward yet effective synth arrangements, "Down The Ley Lines" is clearly inspired by the visions of Syd Barrett, "Birth" resembles a swaying lullaby, and "Vile Man" heavily recalls the sound of Avi Buffalo's first album. "Love Has Left My House Today" is the standout track of the record alongside the title track, where west coast sounds reappear in a more arranged and "complex" piece compared to the others, featuring a very evocative piano outro. Overall, it’s not a transcendental record, but truly very, very pleasant and catchy.
