Spaced out krautrockers & fuzzed out surf-punkers let loose together!
FÖLLAKZOID
Spaced out krautrockers from Chile who managed to get hold of none less than Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom™ or the father of electro-latino) for the synth parts on their third album, simply entitled ‘III’, on Sacred Bones (Pharmakon, Blank Mass, Moon Duo). Live, they attempt no less than an inspiring, psychedelic trip in the direction of krautrock walhalla!
THE BLIND SHAKE
Energetic garage/noise/punk trio from Minneapolis that has been firing off brutal, “extra-terrestrial minimal surf-punk” albums from all sorts of indie labels since 2007. Their latest ‘Celebrate Your Worth’ via Goner Records (Jay Reatard (RIP), Ty Segall) bathes, as ever, in feedback, fuzzed out guitars and flipped out vocals… all doused in litres of reverb. “One guitar, one baritone guitar, a fuckload of reverb and a crazy-ass drummer who deserves an Olympic medal.”
