Japanese band Kikagaku Moyo have become my favorite modern psych band. Though this particular release came out in 2014, it has now been reissued on vinyl. The band carry the tradition of bands like Ghost and and perhaps The Flower Travellin’ Band.

[Music] Olaf Olafsonn and the Big Bad Trip – The Feathers of Oblivion IV: Winter
Prague-based band Olaf Olafsonn and the Big Bad Trip offer a music straddling the borders of black metal and psychedelic rock. The riffs are monstrous, and there are glimmering moments of 70s hard rock in this release.

[Music] Rick’s Reissue Roundup: Attack of the Spring Box Sets!
Shed a tear for the hardcore prog collector — actually, don’t. This week has been absolutely crammed with articulate announcements looking to part fans from their hard-earned cash or pull them deeper into debt. And no, I’m not talking about the upcoming Derek Smalls solo album. Check out what’s coming our way as winter (hopefully) […]

Thanks to Rick for posting this. What a good year this is going to be for prog-heads!
[Music] Gunesh – Гунеш LP/CD (1980)
Gunesh (or, more appropriately, The Gunesh Ensemble) was a jazz-prog outfit led by one of the world’s most incredible and entertaining percussionist, the late Rishad Shafi, who died in 2014.
Presch Media GmbH has done a wonderful service in reissuing their 1980 debut, which is less flashy or jazzy, but very mellow, progressive, and showing a glimpse of their future greatness.
The good news is that the band is apparently carrying on, and judging by the mp3s I’m hearing on their website, they will be in good hands for some time to come.

[Music] Julian Cope – Supernatural Agencies

Welcome to 2018, and a very loud, Krautrock-inspired jazz-fusion track that would have fit nicely on Miles Davis’ ‘Dark Magus‘ period albums. Thank Julian Cope for this noisy groover.
[Music] King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Polygondwanaland
Australia’s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard cross all sorts of genres so heavily that they are nearly impossible to categorize. The band move around easily in alternative music, psychedelic rock, prog, surf (not as weird as it sounds, to be honest) and garage rock.
This album is a freebie, and, as it turns out, one of their best works. Give it a listen and be converted.
[Music] Bandcamp Daily: The Best Albums of 2017
Here are this year’s (disappointing, as usual) Bandcamp toppers of 2017. No Santiago Fradejas. No A.M. Ferrari-Fradejas. Nor Jeff Gburek. Nor Marco Lucchi. Nor Noël Akchoté. Nor so many other deserving artists who don’t offer up a plate of decent, non-offensive pseudo-soul, hip-hop or tacky dance music. Ah, well.
