To be launched in October on Modern Leisure and their very own label, Calico Discos, the album brings us again to their sun-kissed California psych sounds as soon as once more, however this time with equal twists of clipped electronica and subject recordings, as their new songs attest to.

On The Stuff, the opening tune of their new album, the band say which are reinventing themselves in defiance of the algorithmic categorisation and robotic sterility with a tongue-in-cheek ode to rock tropes and nostalgic sentiments within the music world, together with stereotypes of musicians and numerous traits in music.

As a distinction, Zuma 85, the album’s title monitor, glides lazily alongside, seeping slowly into your ears with, because the band say, subject recordings and chimes that precede Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra)-style guitars, which drift aquatically over a motorik rhythm and hazy synths. A band that beforehand melded jangle, surf-styled psych storage, their new songs see them departing acquainted territory and embracing the affect of late-era Lou Reed and John Cale, the ‘70s mutant pop of Peter Ivers and early Eno and Roxy Music, and textures borrowed from Japanese pop and loner-folk obscurities.

The band will likely be on tour in September.
