WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

If like me you're gutted you missed the early 60's counterculture scene, then turn on & tune into the freaky, throwback, outsider acid folk of Emile's LP for Heavy Psych Sounds from earlier this year. Big up Michael Feihstel's ever interesting purchases & the Bandcamp feed for the heads up (music tip!).

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTE SAY:

Melancholic and mysterious, but at the same time, strangely familiar. Combining surreal soundscapes with a distinct sixties style songwriting, Emile’s psychedelic loner folk debut comes together like a weird dream. A dream that shows a side of reality too strange to observe in any other way. Driven by acoustic guitar and haunting arrangements, the frontman of The Sonic Dawn presents a unique backdrop, on which songs about death, life, loss and fear of growing old melt together with a dystopian look into the near future of our civilisation.
