The first fruit to bear from this relationship, the Beach Burrito EP, is a laser-targeted detonation of
garage-psych, capable of putting most of their grizzled garage-psych elders to shame. Breezy jangle-pop gives way to ruthless fuzz breakdowns, and all of it rips hard enough to satisfy even the most discerning of the genre’s broad church.
The quartet, whose expansive appreciation for psych far exceeds most, recognise the importance of
songs above all else. Frontman Dan Dale – a songwriter first and foremost – is incredibly skilled at tapping the well of the Lizard King, as well as influences ranging from John Martyn to The Byrds. The menacing and spacious ‘Amber’ and the Segall-infused stomper ‘Skyline’ conclusively prove that the Bristolian upstarts aren’t at all concerned with having big shoes to fill.
Part of a number of releases that will forever define a particular time (2017-2018) and a particular place (Bristol) to me. Suun were the darlings of a little grungey revival scene at the time. Local record label
Stolen Body put out a beautiful ocean-swirl coloured vinyl of this all of this mixed with their genuinely brilliant melodic surfy garage-psych will give you warm feelings. This EP is a perfect introduction to the raw energy of the band, whilst showcasing that they are more than a one trick pony and can produce great tracks in record too.
Formed via the spirit of adolescent excitement in Bristol at the tail end of 2016, Captain Süün are a
band well and truly beyond their tender years. Following a handful of gigs in 2017 - and a raucous set at Bristol Psych Fest’s opening event in July - they immediately caught the attention of revered Stolen Body Records, with a deal soon struck.

ReplyDeleteYesterday i changed my plans and instead of listening to Zappa Dickies, very good US punk how i like and Dandelion. They were getting better and better and the last one the third, is also the strongest. Strongly remiscent of Mazzy Star. I have the 2nd as an lp, but i wanted them all on cd. I'm currently listening to Dury Dava.
Thanks very much. They're a mystery to me, and i do so like a mystery.
ReplyDeletethanks for the download - great stuff - remind me of Clinic & Black Angels
