There's a new White Mannahttps://whitemanna.bandcamp.com/album/pan

Finding more than one stoner/psych Tubeway Army within the same year, let alone a decade is a tall order! I like that White Manna. The latest Thee Oh Sees is heavier than previous stuff, not quite as good as Wand. Heaters, who I saw open for Wand, have an album out in Aug. I really love the Male Gaze - Gale Maze EP, post-punk-psych!
I'm working on a Psych Noir piece that hopefully people will enjoy.

The first few days it was published, July 2-6, it was missing the damn second paragraph, which was accidentally deleted when I added the Spotify widget and didn't notice! It was kind of important to the piece!
What’s surprising is that it took so long for a significant collection of artists to focus on consistently dark subject matter. It wasn’t until the past eight years that what I consider psych noir really took off. While occult rock is the most commonly used descriptor, I feel it is inadequate, because the majority of the bands are not serious practitioners of the occult, mysticism, black magick or Satanism. The occult is simply one of many themes in their lyrics that match up with the dark, psychedelic atmospherics of their music, just like doom is only a minor element of only some of the bands. While I don’t know if anyone else is ever going to use it, I think psych noir is the perfect descriptor, if not genre name. Just like how there is disagreement among scholars whether “film noir” is a legitimate genre, or a “style,” or just a “cycle,” “phenomenon,” “mood” or “series.” Either way, it’s a useful way to address a diverse body of work that shares a disposition and group of elements without having to share every element. Just as not every film noir movie has a femme fatale or a hard boiled detective, not every psych noir band references the occult, witchcraft or hails Satan.

Lee Dorrian is curating Roadburn! I'm so going.
http://www.roadburn.com/2015/08/lee-dorrian-to-curate-roadburn-2016-with-his-rituals-for-the-blind-dead-parts-1-2/
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 6 August 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
In the last few years, Dorrian has been assembling an amazing roster of new bands on his Rise Above label that span a fascinating range of psych, prog, folk, doom, proto-metal and more, with Galley Beggar, Lucifer, Death Penalty, Hidden Masters, The Oath, Troubled Horse, Saturn, Iron Man, SerpentCult, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Blood Ceremony, Purson, Age of Taurus, Horisont, Noctum and Ghost. Hopefully his new band made up of former members of Electric Wizard, With The Dead, will also make an appearance.
While there should be a healthy representation of bands from his label's roster, of course he'll also want to reach far beyond that. There should be plenty of surprises. I would expect a once-in-a-lifetime reunion a favorite psych prog band from that 1968-72 era, along the lines of High Tide, Gun, Night Sun, Blackwater Park, T2 or Flower Travellin' Band. Fingers crossed! My wishlist would include Spirits of the Dead, Motorpsycho, I Am The Mansion, Jess & Jess and the Ancient Ones, Colour Haze, Syd Arthur, Wolf People, Anekdoten, Dead Skeletons, Lola Colt, Messenger - Band, Avatarium, Blues Pills, Goatess, Spiders, 40 Watt Sun, Sonic Jesus, The Janitors, The Lucid Dream, The Black Waves, Taman Shud, mostly European-based bands that never make it to the U.S. that I've never seen. Plenty of other great worthy American bands that would fit in too, like Magic Circle, Fellwoods, Golden Void, Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band, Fuzz, Wo Fat, Green & Wood, Brimstone Coven, Demon Eye, Quilt, Argus, Devil Worshipper, etc.

So quiet here. So in one of those What Are You Listening Now groups, someone bragged about having the new Dungen, and I wanted to reach out thru the 'net and smack 'em. I have it pre-ordered, but no promo yet. So would it be just as annoying if I said I'm enjoying my first few listens to Horisont, Graveyard and Christian Mistress? I saw Christian Mistress last week, great show in a tiny room. Davis' voice started losing power partway through, but the band more than made up for it. Graveyard isn't what I expected so taking some adjustment but I'm on board with it. Horisont have stepped up their songwriting big time. Some psych, but bit of Judas Priest going on there too!

why were you upset at the dungeon dude? the album leaked a couple days ago
― calstars, Thursday, 10 September 2015 03:14 (eight years ago) link
Not upset, just annoyed -- I had been unable to track anything down at the time and he didn't say anything about what it was like. I finally did, and I like it, though it's not a big departure from the last couple, jazzy, Swedish lyrics, etc. There's a lot coming out. Similarly, I also pre-ordered the Golden Void but will not receive it 'til next week, though it's out tomorrow. The two tracks I heard are great.
Also, new Wand album is streaming:http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2015/09/wand_streaming.html

New Dungen is a little too earnest and cute for me, mostly---will listen more, but I remember them as being more robust---do really like the coda of last track; never heard anything quite like it--and a couple of others.

Oh yeah---may have already pasted this from the The Future Is Now thread, but worth mentioning again
Another xpost electric lunch break< with 37'58" more sustaining than a lot of double-LPs:Sonic Praise, the 6/30 debut album offering of Ecstatic Vision. Philly souls are among those who already Know, but new to me."Journey" arrives with the droning sting of a dinosaur's tail, bass & drums bouncing and swaying over thee ancient dust of another Monday, replenished by well-timed injections: pedals and petals of guitar, keys, maybe a sax sometimes---obv. they like Hawkwind, with Lemmy-like throats."Astral Plane": better keep your butts in gear up here: "Look in the mirror and tell youself, space is the place to be....believe what you want to believe..." *What* a balancing act.Somewhere in here (scribbled notes) is either "Everyday we work now behbeh," or is it "Everyday don't work"? Both? They both fit, over and under onslaughts/"Don't Lose The Vibe," with an exclamation mark after each word in the chanted title.Title song sounds like they also like bands with "Temple" in the name*, while getting further from the sludge appeal, kneeling on and rattling International Dateline---"Crossing The Divide" puts it all back together, as Sasquatch drums reappear, bidding bobbing heads to rise and dance through aurora borealis (might be some buzzsaws working overtime in there).*Bio sheet adds influences of Aprodites Child, Olatunji, Can, and early Amon Duul.

I saw Kadavar the other night. Definitely one of the best touring hard rock bands in the world right now, highly recommend 'em. There were probably only about 60 people there -- while it was a Sunday night, it's a good example of why more European bands like Spiders, Witchcraft, Colour Haze, 40 Watt Sun, Blues Pills don't tour North America much. In contrast, here was their recent show in Mexico City:
