Lovers of the more overtly psychedelic side of Ghost Box’s output take notice: Large Plants are back with some medieval, baroque, Fairport Convention-inspired psych-folk-rock with November’s The Thorn.
Warbly, tape-distressed guitars twinkle over crisp, martial drumwork in a haze of deep reverie. Take your shoes off, grab your edibles, and find a shag carpet to lie on for this one.
The album releases on November 17 and is available for pre-order.
The Cocteau Twins-inspired cover art for White Poppy’s new LP Sound of Blue is indicative enough of the music therein: gauzy, dreamy, soporific. Cascading, reverbed-to-hell guitar chimes and whispering, coo-ing vocals wash over you for its short, 38-minute runtime.
Also be sure to check out her awesome Neocities site.
I’ll always recommend anything from this artist, so no surprises here. On the Not Not Fun label.
This is a punishing and beautiful shard of black metal from Italian outfit Morwinyon, from their forthcoming LP Wastelands.
It will be released on February 24, 2023 on Naturmacht Productions.
