Description
I hate to get all early-00s Vice Magazine when it comes to record reviews, but I think Banshee's Livin' In The Jungle merits a FUCK DUDE THIS RIPS. A sweaty, funky, heavily psychedelic synthesis of pretty much everything great about 70s rock and a strong album of the year candidate for sure. There's also a fairly solid new single from Kikagaku Moyo, and Portland's own Golden Retriever teams up with avant-folk guitarist Chuck Johnson for some electro-acoustic ambient bliss.
