The best way to get low-down grimy and scuzzy this side of midnight!!? Any side of midnight to be fair, this song is just ravishingly sexy-dark and I love it!
Seattle’s purveyors of all things psychedelic create some of the finest, heavy doses of mind-bending hazy, crazy garage-nostalgia this side of the 60’s! Coupled with hefty measures of heavy blues and r&b, the Night Beats erupt and consume everything with their mighty wall of authentic psych sounds (listen to lots more on my blog pages here.)
Seeing them live a couple of years back was a highlight for me, definitely a gig that stands out!! If you’ve not seen this lot yet, I’d seek them out for sure and, with a new record coming out on the 18th of this month, a tour is kicking off that same day with a handful of gigs in the UK – find them here
Messiah was originally released as a split single in May 2012 and, with only 1000 copies pressed, you’ll be lucky to find one in the UK..but I’m still looking!! The good news is that this was released digitally in 2014 and that can be found here!
With hints of Dazed and Confused, today’s song is a killer track that creeps up, stalkingly slow, firing out lashings of fuzzed-out psych as distorted vocals hypnotically lure you in like there was tomorrow..and if there wasn’t, this would be a good way to spend your last day, just listening to this over and over!! Check it out above!
