kingdom of the holy sun

We’ve got some psychedelic music for you today, and it ain’t for the faint of heart.  Kingdom of the Holy Sun is an amalgamation of shoegaze and drone music dripping with psychedelia and music of the far-east.  Guido Anselmi is the mastermind behind this trippy band, creating all the tunes and arrangements himself.  “Her Sweet Delight,” the A side to a recent single isn’t too far off from a Doors number.  Anselmi croons about a self-indulgent women, hiding behind howling winds and slow churning organ.  All the while, 60s guitar cuts through the noise, creating a wild adventure all its own.  If you’re in the mood for something dark and heavy today, you won’t get any heavier than this foggy tune.  For a blast from the past, check out the song below or download here.

Somewhere between the country-road folk of Neil Young and neo-psychedelic indie music lie MV & EE.  This Vermont based band, which has been releasing albums for a while now are about to come out with their latest called Space Homestead, set for release mid-May.  The first single they’ve released from this forthcoming album is called “Workingman’s Smile” and, after hearing this tune, the title seems very appropriate.  It sounds like a relaxing day of sipping on some beer and enjoying good times with friends.  The harmonicas and droning slide guitars mesh seamlessly with the duel vocalists lax vocal lines that are sure to put you in that hazy summer mindset.  Can’t wait for this album.
