Alternate Realities - Today's Psyched-Out Bands
4 Dec, 2012
Tired already of all the comercialized Christmas cheer? Sounds like you could benefit from a trip to a planet far, far away. Today's recent crop of tunes will transport you there, and perhaps into an alternate dimension, as well.
Gnod (prononced "nod") - Otherworldly travelers of time and space, who recreate their expeditions with primeval and psychedelic soundscapes. The tracks on "Sex, Drones, and Broken Bones" (Or Pathways to Hidden Lands)" are hardly "songs" in the traditional sense, but droning, ambient soundscapes, sometimes flecked with recorder and wind chimes, at other times accompanied by tribal chants. It's an entirely free download on their Bandcamp page, so go check it out if your imagination needs somewhere new to roam.
Strange Forces - Extraterrestrial jam band. In the words of their artist bio, "[their] influences range from Spacerock to obscure New-Age Prophecies". Awash with astronomical guitar solos, "I'd Rather Listen to the Bloody Birds", their latest album, is a fantastic voyage available in both digital download and glorious vinyl on Strange Force's Bandcamp page.
