Tibetan Miracle Seeds: Inca Missiles 2021

 

Tibetan Miracle Seeds are a new psychedelic rock band from Scotland, and the latest signing by

upcoming UK psych record label Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records. Their music leans heavily towards Anton Newcombe-ian psychedelica, so you better get your sitar and acoustic guitar ready before joining in with these soothing chants.
                 

Tibetan Miracle Seeds is a Psyche Rock band from Dundee, Scotland and it is primarily the creative

venture of Jack McAfee (Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Percussion, Organ, Lap Steel, Didgeridoo, Field Recordings), with other musicians assisting across the bands work, most notably the drum work of Robbie Wilson.
                     

              
Starting off at the end of the 2010’s as a bedroom project, their debut album Inca Missiles was released

in 2021 on Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records, quickly gaining a global audience with their blend of indigenous and traditional world music with modern psychedelia and heavy guitars.
                             

The band draws primarily from 60's Psyche Rock, however McAfee also sites the folk music of various

indigenous cultures from around the world as being another notable influence on Tibetan Miracle Seeds. There’s definitely some of that Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols fuzzy laziness going on here, and also Tibetan Miracle Seeds luckily also know how to write some ear worms for your brain to remember them by.
                    

Which is fine by them probably, let them emanate their incense heavy fumes from the periphery for a

while. Their special edition vinyl records are long since gone, so I guess they have found their tribe. You know, those people who just know what a Tibetan Miracle Seed is, even without ever Googling it. Or an Inca Missile for that matter…that’s exactly the kind of tribe that will put these miracle seeds in their pipe and smoke it until they melted all their wellies.
                         

Inca Missiles is a pretty cool debut album with a consistent sound, some real tunes, and killer artwork.

Psychheads know what to do. The follow up album set for release in Summer 2025 was created with live shows in mind, with heavier riffs, progressive arrangements, and memorable hooks.
