Thanks to a visit with my friend Joe, whose music taste is impeccable for things like drone, old prog and Killing Joke, I figured I’d spend my evening looking for good, psych-y, droney things to listen to. Kikagaku Moyo caught my attention by sounding like a slightly more updated version of Acid Mothers Temple. A good, stony listen.

[Music] David Bowie – Warszawa (from the album ‘Stage’)
No need to comment on David Bowie’s instrumental masterpiece except to say that it is truly sublime listening.
[Music] Sepsis – A Liturgy Of Madness
I love being a music sponge, but even with my rather vast knowledge of strange music, some things slip through the cracks. The Russian band Sepsis is a case in point. Apparently, the band was from Leningrad (now St Petersburg), and created a sound which would be familiar to fans of Rock-In-Opposition and avant-progressive music.
[Music] Susheela Raman – Yoo Doo Right
I’ve never quite heard Can covered in such an interesting way. Susheela Raman steals the show.
[Music] Greek Psychedelia — The New Elastic Infinite
Why haven’t I done a show on Greece before now? It is senseless! Greek psychedelia is the super most wow I’m blown away! Turn on and tune in to Global Psychedelia this Saturday from 2-4PM central (WEFT 90.1FM and streaming at weft.org) for these two hours of inner-cosmic freak outs from Greece. Acid Baby Jesus […]
[Music] WAHNSINN — VINYL CONNECTION
Tarot by Walter Wegmüller is one of those wonderful, dotty follies of vinyl packaging that transcend normal expectations with bravura wackiness. Released on the Cosmic Couriers label ((Die Kosmischen Kuriere, for those who do Deutsch) in 1973, it hovers near the very peak of my LP Grail list. I’ve never held a copy, never […]
[Music] 아이러닉 휴(Ironic Hue) – 작은사람 (For Melting Steel)
It’s high time South Korea’s indie scene had more exposure. Hopefully bands like Ironic Hue will open the doorway for more great post-rock bands from the country.
[Music] Sound Of The Day : Regn — Wyrd Words & Effigies
I’ve been following blogger and dark style queen Mai Magi for well over a year now, so when she announced she was launching a music project I was excited to say the least. Regn is an ambient sort of project. Mai herself says that she ‘makes weird sounds with limited tools.’ Witching Hour is my […]
[Music] Wizards and Warlocks of Rock — Bandcamp Daily
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard It’s no secret that metal and stoner rock acts have long been obsessed with the occult. We’re not talking about actual devil worship—or even an infatuation with mystic texts. By “occult,” we mean using the visual and lyrical tropes of magical dudes with spellbinding beards as a way to […]
[Music] Collin Walcott – Prancing
Collin Walcott was an American multi-instrumentalist who played with the band Oregon, as well as releasing some incredibly interesting solo material before his death in 1984 from an automobile accident while touring in East Germany.
