Dream Phases - So Long, Yesterday (Nomad Eel Records) 2019 $13
After Brandon Graham’s band Nacosta split, he hung around with other LA Psych bands, and continued to write songs. In 2016, he decided he needed an outlet for the shoeboxes full of songs he’d recorded in his bedroom over the years. Together with brother Shane, he formed Dream Phases. What began as a bedroom project evolved into what it is today – a full-blown psychedelic rock quintet. After releasing EPs and singles over the years, “So Long, Yesterday” marks their debut full-length, one filled with accessible psych rock that has indie pathos and trippy excursions.

Secret Colours - Dream Dream (Self Released) 2017 $13
Have to admit, Secret Colours fell off our radar for a few years since we featured their early releases. But, we’re fixing that right now! On 2017’s “Dream Dream”, the band continued to craft a sound that reaches far beyond the city limits of their hometown of Chicago, IL. The record relishes on the current level of the demand on society to rely on their screens, devices, and multi-media influence, taking its musical cues from indie, pop, psychedelia, and garage rock, captivating listeners through a myriad of melodies that make up their signature sound.

Secret Colours - EP3 (Self Released) 2013 $7
In 2011, the band released the 5-song “EP3” that includes a very cool cover of The Kinks’ “Sunny Afternoon”! “They blend their hallucinogenic sound with traditional pop hooks, inviting a broader spectrum of listeners to their music outside of high-brow psych-rock aficionados; the kind of self-proclaimed pop music scholars who worship their ‘Pebbles’ and ‘Nuggets’ box-sets like an evangelical preaches from their bible. You don’t have to have a background in the sub-genres of garage-rock or psych-rock to enjoy Secret Colours' lucid sound,.TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR EXCLUSIVE 2-FER OFFER!

Matthew Sweet - Catspaw (Omnivore Records) 2021 $15
“Catspaw” represents a marked contrast with Matthew’s previous two albums, “Tomorrow Forever” and “Tomorrow’s Daughter”, sounding a little less zesty than either of its predecessors. As with so many prior albums, its foundation lies in tracks Matthew recorded by himself in collaboration with long-time percussionist Ric Menck, but this time, rather than overdub other musicians’ and singers’ contributions (as well as layer upon layer of himself singing), here he plays everything except the drums and does all the vocals. Here, he cranks his vintage amplifiers and steps into a role previously played by some of his generation’s most unique and incendiary lead guitarists from Richard Lloyd (Television) to Robert Quine (Lou Reed) and Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & the Voidoids).
