Marking their first release of the year, ‘Thank You For Your Time’ represents a slight departure from the band’s thus far signature West Coast psychedelic stylings as they continue to diversify their sound. The song lurches in on all fours, with a thunderous rhythm and a smokescreen of dense, resonant feedback and enigmatic synth - more reminiscent of modern Aussie Psychedelic Rock than euphoric 60’s Californication.

Pony in the Pancake • Summer Sun • 2019

The band trades in a lovely warm wash of guitars and verbed-out gang vocals, with the occasional synth to compliment the jangly lead lines, a perfect soundtrack to driving to the beach with the windows down and living up the rest of the summer.

Scarlet Pumps • Out Of Season • 2019

With Out of Season, we believe we’ve continued to evolve our style of catchy rock into a more focused, modern take on the retro California Pop sound that perfectly fits the nostalgic vibe of the Summer season.

Best of 2016… Plastic Mermaids - Everything is Yellow and Yellow is my Least Favourite Colour

Such a great EP from 2016. Psychedelic Surf Pop at it's very best… 

Beyond the Cosmos After Death is by far my fav track on the record...

Hailing from the Isle of Wight, Plastic Mermaids are a timely example of a young British guitar band that sound both fresh and exciting without losing that crucial appetite for melody. With an expansive palette for progressive sounds, they conjure up the chug and groove of a Three EPs era Beta Band, the leftfield, warped pop hooks of Clinic, and the colour and joy of fellow Brits, Glass Animals. Ultimately, it hints at a modern day Brian Wilson with a band all on the same sonic page, and it's as exquisite as that suggests.

Patchwork Guilt is a figmental band, i.e. a collection of solo bedroom tinkerings that started in 2014. The songs range from folky to poppy to mildly psychedelic, depending on mood and whim.

Heaters - Holy Water Pool - 2015

Broken shards of the Bo Diddley beat, detritus left behind by the three-eyed men of the Elevators, the amplifier-abuse-turned-illumination of The Warlocks – all feed the rich soil from which “Holy Water Pool” emerges. And perhaps nowhere on “Holy Water Pool” is the fruit of that soil better served than on “Master Splinter,” an instantly-under-your-skin gallop of greatness that lays bare both the unbridled joy and teeth-gnashing distress of what we like to call rock and roll… Onward flows the “Holy Water Pool,” the rambunctious and replenished flow of rock and roll, inviting all for a cleansing, refreshing dip.

No Vacation - Summer Break Mixtape - 2015

No Vacation is a San Francisco based indie pop group. With a dynamic live set and melodic instrumentals, the band has received comparisons to many seminal indie bands while simultaneously carving out a unique sound for themselves.

Halie Miller Catchy songs, lovely vocals. Music to put you in a good mood.

Michael O. - Really? - 2015

MICHAEL O. (Olivares) of beloved Bay Area psych-pop band THE MANTLES (Slumberland, Siltbreeze etc) has been secretly building songs in his basement in Oakland with the help of HORRID RED's Edmund Xavier for the past few years. The result is this affecting collection of cracked pop hits & tragic ballads. The Mantles are known to lay down a thick electric jangle, but with Michael's solo songs the focus rests on rough-hewn vocal melodies & lyrics, laced with synths, acoustics, noises & clarinet. Michael tumbles headfirst into MODERN LOVERS, JACOBITES, TRONICS, TALL DWARFS territory...home recorded & highly personal but not lo-fi, please.

The Zephyr Bones - Wishes​/​Fishes - 2014

"Wishes/Fishes is the first EP DIY from The Zephyr Bones. The band, that has been active since last summer presents in this work an oniric trip to summertime sounds and the feeling of the sand under your feet, watered with pop melodies and voices travelling on reverbs. 

While you listen to Wishes/Fishes, you can smell the sand and the salt, they get away from the classical sounds to find a better way to tell a summer love story" - Shook Down Underzine
