Reverse side print. Another lost gem from the non-jazz Verve catalogue, Color Him In is a daydream experience from loner singer/songwriter Bobby Jameson. Released in 1967, the album is an orchestrated psychedelic trip, so it's no surprise then Jameson had a part in the cult film Mondo Hollywood. Produced by...

The 1969 follow up to SILVER APPLES' debut found the duo digging into the far reaches of their songwriting psyches for a darker and more emotionally charged set of songs. While the debut set the stage for a sound the world had never heard before, Contact is where the Silver...

Audiopile Review: Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones, aka New Orleans ambient-pop duo Belong, have never been shy about showing their influences. Their 2008 EP, ‘Colorloss Record’ features, admittedly obfuscated, covers of psychedelic rock tunes by the likes of Syd Barrett. Their most well-known album, ‘October Language’, is transparently a heroically...

Co-mixed by none other than...

Audiopile Review: Wolf Eyes has always been a weird collision of high and low culture. This is a band that collaborated with Professor Anthony Braxton on an album called ‘Black Vomit’, after all. So, what do you think when you hear that ex-Wolf Eyes noisemaker Aaron Dilloway has created a...
