Season of mists and mellow freakiness

I found my way to this after buying a Psychic Ills album (on the same label, also good in a sub-Spacemen 3 way and such good sleeve design). But Lower Mind is maybe my track of the year as far as this sort of thing goes. It reminds me of something, probably another track, possibly another life. I don't think I've ever loved such a murky album before. Slightly disappointed that Amen Dunes isn't the guy's real name and that he isn't the frightening Joey Ramone/Bette Davis lovechild on the cover there.

  1. That actually could be from 1968

  2. The angst and synth noises put me more in mind of the late 70s early 80s, Cure territory.

  4. Everything fine, I'm just being very lazy. I bought a cuckoo clock the other day, and if that's not worth a post then I don't know what is, but it didn't happen and you can't force these things. Thanks for checking though, really quite touched.

  5. We had a cuckoo clock when I was a kid- my Mum got it in Switzerland (natch). I saw identical ones in France last summer and regret not buying one.
