-valis Pick of the Week

Hail Voyagers! The Italians are coming! Again.* Backed by a long tradition of great psychedelia emanating from the boot, from the '60s straight through to stalwarts like The Backwards and Strange Flowers, from Turin: The Selfish Cales!
They've recently released Light Worms And Old Dancing Ladies, available via Bandcamp.

Twelve tracks displaying a virtual textbook of '60s psychedelic tropes. It's an unabashed paean to the joys of the first era, effortless and beautiful and buoyant. No rote parrots either. They've done their homework and put in the time, and it shows. This is full-spectrum kaleidoscopic music by artists who wear their swirling, Escher-fractalled heart on their sleeves. (Their choice to cover July's "My Clown" is pluperfect. Their earlier EP, Dandelion Seeds: Highlights and Rarities from Psychedelic Sixties, found here, further illustrates the depth of their passion. Tomorrow's "Real Life Permanent Dream" is especially powerful!)

To illustrate:



Music vincit omnia! Hail The Selfish Cales!!!
