Another album that I've been waiting to tell you about is Couch Thoughts. Lucas Pipola is from Melbourne and he has fashioned an album of great Psych Pop that lands somewhere between Psych, Brit Pop and Indie Rock.
It is incredibly melodic and crosses more genres than you might think. Elaine for instance is pure gentle melodic Classic Rock. Songs are built around a soundscape of sorts, a little early Tame Impala, before that got all everyday boring lowest common denominator.
Can You See Us is a great example of this comparison, a sound that completely washes over you beautifully. That feel is also a part of Inside Conscious Mind, but this time the Psych Pop is much more prominent. Wonderfully so.
Sleeping Through A Dream is much more about the Vocal Harmony, at times sounding like great 70s Pop Rock. Yet, Are You Lost gets slightly heavier with its Guitar Riff and Fuzz becoming more Brit Pop and even coming close to the new breed of Guitar Pop.
What A Mess is a little spacey, yet still riff driven and the stand out is probably Dr Mordite which builds from its gentle start into great Psych Pop and even getting a little Space Rock. Couch Thoughts is a lot of about the vibe and the feel, but it is incredibly well put together.
You can listen to the album here and also listen and buy here.
