Love & Other Crimes

It breaks my black heart to see Gutter Satisfaction come to a close, but Love & Other Crimes will slide into that hallowed spot this week (1-3 a.m., Fridays) to give us a serious run for our collective money…

Love & Other Crimes is a 60′s-70′s focused and vinyl-heavy romp through the ups and downs of love between people.

Trust me, this will be no crime…Catch Love & Other Crimes, plus so much more it’s staggering, on WRIR lp 97.3 FM, Radio For The Rest Of Us.

Baby Woodrose :: Nothing is Real

Nothing is Real; first out of the gate for the new Baby Woodrose Third Eye Surgery, set to release April 16th.

No matter how much the fuzz guitar is wailing or the echo machine is tripping, there’s always a good song hiding beneath the rumble. Several of them clocks in at 6 minutes so there are only 9 songs on Third Eye Surgery. Songs like Nothing is Real and Love Like a Flower have an Eastern flavour thanks to the sitar of Vicki Singh while Just a Ride sounds like a trip to India in more than one way.

Even though the central songs on Third Eye Surgery like Waiting for the War, Bullshit Detector and the title song are very spaced out there are also a few tunes that sticks out. Dandelion is a sweet and melancholic psychedelic pop song and is also a duet with Emma Acs while Honalie is a dreamy ballad that makes time stand still. Almost.

Third Eye Surgery has been recorded in the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen and is engineered by Anders “Evil Jebus” Onsberg and produced by Lorenzo Woodrose. The artwork is made by German artist Kiryk Drewinski who has worked with the band several times before and also did the artwork for the demo collection Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers released in 2011. LP is gatefold as usual.

Al Lover :: Heavy Hippies–Cheapdrugsfreelove

I seriously doubt the drugs are cheap, or the love free…on this world…maybe they still are in San Francisco, where producer Al Lover is back and the tunes are cheap…in cost only. Thoroughly rich with his fusion of garage/psych rock and hip-hop, the beats are dirty, sweet, earthy and spacey. Heavy Hippies–Cheapdrugsfreelove is the ‘unofficial’ 2nd part to Satanic Tambourines that dropped at the end of ’11. Pushing the psych side of the mash a bit more, from the swinging snippets of vocals and ramblings that link some cuts to the all out swirling immersion of Mind Melt 1400 A.D. Swag, Cheapdrugsfreelove has a gritty propulsive swagger and grind. Walking Through the Sludge of Infinite Dischord favors a swampy menacing stomp, while other cuts push the dynamics from the groovy (Death Ride in San Francisco) to the outer limits (17 Dimensions of Teeth). Al Lover doesn’t skimp on sampling from all kinds of psych and offshoots, using the beats as both throbbing momentum and spine. Though it’s a trip and trippy, Cheapdrugsfreelove has more in line with the flip side of the party coin. Running up and down that spine is a morning after, dark side of the trip vibe that teeters on that manic ride that ends up in flames, brought full frontal on The People and the Drug, a Dynamic. There’s got to be a low for there to be a high, and that’s played out in the dynamics to the self-professed ‘off kilter bad vibe psych made only of samples, drugs and occult magic.’ If the idea of taking psych rock and stewing it up with hip hop puts you off, let the idea of both going and being used where they aren’t normally calm your nerves. Al Lover bypasses an über-produced sheen, favoring a dirtier and more combustible air where the two can catch fire and work it out. Cheapdrugsfreelove is layer upon layer of sonics, but Lover’s two main ingredients are mixed up and whipped together so the separation of the two becomes, at the least, unimportant. It’s a heady and heavy ride all the way through, snaking it’s way up and down, in and out. Plans are being made for Al Lover to take another ride this summer with Al Lover & The Haters on the road as well as more musical trips coming down the pike, including the recent Austin Psych Fest 2012 Mixtape.

John Duva :: John Duva

John Duva is a band from Åre in northern Sweden; a place where they’ve lived and played together for a long time. Lately, the band moved south, to the archipelagos of Stockholm. They are all traveling from different cities in Sweden to meet up and play on the island of Yxlan, Stockholm, pretty much all the time! With an attitude and a burning passion, they meet up to play and to dispose the frustration of waking up and wasting their time with routines and everyday jobs. This is the main factor for their inspiration, and the heart of their music; to break free from standard living and create a reality of their own which consists of music and pure energy.

Daniel Bachman :: Grey—Black—Green

3 cuts of grey, 3 of black and 3 of green…murky, ethereal and rustic acoustic outing from Daniel Bachman. The lo-fi production ‘hiss’ does nothing to take away from his playing and in fact adds to it overall, pumping up the free-flowing organic pull of the songs. It gives it an insular sheen that is actually inviting, rather than locking you out or keeping you at a distance. A bright and ‘new’ production might highlight his guitar playing more, but the overall effect is intriguing and amorphous, like the songs. Moods shift from one track to the next, but overall it comes across as introspective and melancholy, often sad but not a downer. The murkiness may put some folks off, but it all works as whole and his playing undoubtedly comes through.
