October 2, 2020

F this, I'm going to the desert.

 


Global pandemic, hellish infernos, political boiling point... FUCK THAT. We will survive all this shit and emerge renewed. Music can sustain us. And I've got some killer shit for the KILLING TIME.

And I'm introducing a new feature on the Spacerock Continuum! It's called MULTI-PLAY!!!

For the next few months each installment will feature multiple tracks from a highlighted artist. That's NEVER (rarely) happened before! For October it's zany Brit krautrockers Clinic, who turned psychobilly on its head by incorporating the dark mesmer of minimalist no wave artists like Suicide and the motorik "repetition and nonsense" of artists like Can. Hypnotic, manic, and GROOVY! Take a trip down fuzzy memory lane with me and CLINIC!

Then we delve deep into exotic psychotropia with international artists like Sunset Images (Mexico), Muun Bato (Minnesota), Kooba Tercu (Greece), Ghost (Japan), Lastryko  and Trupa Trupa (Poland!), Sun Dial (UK), Hum (outta Illinois with their fantastic new comeback record!), The Men (New York), Ganglians (San Francisco), Tonstartssbandht (Florida?!?!?), O.G. psychproggers Porcupine Tree and The Bevis Frond (UK), the almighty GNOD (also UK), Tambourinen (Arizona?!?!?), and Acid Rooster (Germany).

I'm mostly giving you the geographic origins of these artists lately rather than describe them in much detail so you can come up with your own conclusions. And you will find that SPACEROCK is indeed EVERYWHERE! Without it we'd never make it through this alive...
