And it Came to Pass that Birds Fell to Earth as Black Snakes

Eagle Twin
"A two headed eagle with octopus tentacles. Tyler Smith hits things really hard. Gentry Densley loosens his strings and always has a few extra amplifiers. The 2 have come together with a love of all things heavy. Its doom blues roots rock backing a new mythology of epic old testament proportions. Born from crow, eagle twin says, "I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls""

You Are Excrement If You Can Turn Yourself Into Gold

Omns

"It's not often that you hear something that actually sounds new and different, but Robert Lowe's Lichens project does just that. Using his voice and a delay, he sets up elaborate soundscapes, then plays acoustic guitar on top that evokes outsider folkies. Neither approach is new, but in combination the effect is startling. "Vocals" or "voice" is a bit of a misnomer here: no words are uttered; the voice is simply a tone-generating device used to set up a series of drones that interact microtonally, creating additional dissonances and sounds."

Genre(s): Alternative Psychedelic Ambient
Lyrics: None

Down The Rabbits Whole With The Psychedelonaut

When The Riffian Slays...

"Wo Fat believes in the Riff. Wo Fat's music is all about the riff. Wo Fat are well schooled in the ways of Rock. They have learned from the recorded evidence left behind by the old ones of the '70's: Black Sabbath, Captain Beyond, Leslie West, ZZ Top... They have gone further back to glean the foundations of Rock from the bluesmasters of days past like John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, Son House and Mississippi Fred McDowell. They have travelled through the backwoods mythos of the north Mississippi hill country blues of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough and studied the riffage of more contemporary masters like Sleep, Kyuss and Fu Manchu. They also possess knowledge of the archaic arts of analog recording and vacuum tube amplification. The result is a bubbling psychedelic brew of heavy riff- rock and electric fuzzed-out blues. " Wo Fat.
