4th January 2012: The Early Days / Playlist

Featured: The Early Days - S/T (SR)

The Early Days started out 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden as a sunday living room jam duo, but rapidly evolved into a five-piece full rock band. They proudly administrate the heritage from the 60’s psychedelic pop, but also clear new paths for the neo-psyche-delic wave that is tearing up shores across the world as we speak. With repetitive, melodic songs, floating vocals and dreamy guitars, The Early Days build upon both new and old traditions.

Finally the long and winding road from industrious songwriting to the release of an album is behind us. We kindly ask you to take over the wheel from this point. We have finished the job and The Early Days debut album belongs to us no more.

A lot of great people have been on-board this trip, but first and foremost we would like to thank the excellent Mark Gardener for mixing the album. Also big thanks to everyone at Svenska Grammofon Studion who let us record our music in an almost perfect and very inspiring environment. We could not have done it any better or in any other way.

This album is the logical follow-up to our previously released EP's, it is more accessible and the "60's" is even more present than before, but it is still a matter of psychedelic music in the truest sense of the word. We completely unscrewed the doors of perception this time and created a record that the human mind will need a philosophy of its own to handle.

We feel proud of this album and we hope you like it too.

Sincerely yours - The Early Days

14th December 2011: Cult Of Dom Keller / Playlist

Featured: Cult Of Dom Keller - EP3 (SR)

Cult Of Dom Keller arrived on earth in 2008 and in their few years together have bestowed upon our ear drums their dark psychedelic whacked out sounds with three self released EPs.

Way back when, the band rehearsed in the basement of an old cathedral. "It was fucking freezing, damp and the electrics kept going, but it was a free space". Before rehearsals they listened to 'Pebbles Volume 3: Acid Gallery' and the 'Dom Keller Os Mods'... 'Dom Keller' means 'Cathedral Cellar' and it made sense. The dark reverberating sounds made in the cathedral cellar had been named. Here was born The Cult of Dom Keller.

Dom Keller sound like they've fallen from the back of Ken Kesey's legendary LSD loaded magic bus, down 'n' dirty slabs of fried freak beat are sumptuously decoded within a swamp infested heavy beatnik chassis, part acid laced shade wearing psyche and part heavy stoner goo, a wasted baby laced with hazy 60's sourced keys and looping gridlocked riffs of mind expanding proportions; a blissed out frenzied fuzz laced tripping haze and bone rattling f**k you,a bludgeoned blues bastardisation spewed out by a tranced out Brian Jonestown Massacre amid an impenetrably squalling sonic wall feedback fisticuffs with a volatile 13th Floor Elevators" - losingtoday.com

Between the sounds – between the sounds in your head – you will hear voices whispering the answers you seek.
