'Donnie’s Mood' finds D. Clinton Thompson drifting between jazz, blues, and folk in a loose, stripped-down set with a wandering feel. The 'Donnie’s Mood' release on Borrowed Records lands warm and easy, more about mood than structure...

COMA were one of those groups that sat slightly outside the usual narratives. Formed in the early 70s out of the Danish club circuit, they drew from Hendrix, Zappa and the late 60s underground. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/04/coma...

Nothing’s more exciting than seeing these releases come home, especially since I wrote liner notes for some of them or am mentioned. Thanks a ton, Adam. Here’s to many more!! 😎 #underground

Sloan Brothers, the solo project of Sloan Simpson, returns with Middle-Aged Love trimmed down and hitting harder, where sharp, funny takes on dating past forty meet bright power pop that nods to The Magnetic Fields and The Cars...

Black Tempest recently released ‘Folding Space,’ a new full-length that pushes Stephen Bradbury further out of the pastoral zones of 2024’s ‘Astral Pastoral’ and into something colder, more distant. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/04/blac...

A blown out fuzz drenched proto doom blast from Mexico City’s Medusa, born in 1972 on Día de los Muertos, tearing through their near early singles and later basement recordings as a snarling document of heavy Spanish language rock wired with protest, grime, and unkillable attitude. (Guerssen)

Fifty years on, 'Live!' is reborn through an incredible reissue by Chrysalis Records, finally unveiling the full 1975 Stockholm performance in sequence for the first time and capturing Robin Trower, James Dewar and Bill Lordan at their absolute peak, with newly restored audio...

A hidden gem of British jazz fusion, 'Cumulus' (1979) catches Laurie Holloway letting his piano drift over light bass and drums, a glimpse of a player who moved easily between jazz, television work and orchestral writing. (Morgan Blue Town Records)

'Panoramica degli Abissi' by TO DIE ON ICE is a multimedia project that reimagines a surreal story of two characters drawn into a dreamlike, unsettling journey, expressed through the band’s “Lynch Core” style....

Recorded in 1973–74 and issued in 1975 on Movieplay’s Gong series, Eduardo Bort’s debut marks its 50th anniversary (Guerssen) as a distinctive Spanish prog record, built on his extended guitar work, Mellotron-backed arrangements, and a band sound that gets quite spacey.

A late-70s Zambian private press now reissued by Strawberry Rain / Sharp-Flat. ‘I Can See It Coming’ sits within the Zamrock continuum. Hard rock and typical rhythmic feel.

Decolmuseum draws on Alfian Emir Adytia’s formation between Yogyakarta and The Hague, yet refuses the stabilising logic of either, recasting the cello as a volatile, historically charged sound source rather than a carrier of repertoire...

The C.A. Quintet return to Trip Thru Hell with a 2026 remaster, the one and only underground psych collector’s favourite, long held up as one of the darkest and most unique psych rock albums ever committed to wax, a true holy grail... www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/04/c-a-...

Rising Dao used to lean on open-ended jams, letting things blur, but ‘Zero Some Game’ tightens that instinct into something more focused, more idea-based. This massive double album is a new shape for them, and yeah, it asks a bit more from you, but it pays it back...

By the time ‘Heavy Petting’ appeared in September 1970, Dr. Strangely Strange were already slipping out of the place that had made them. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/04/dr-s...

Octotanker is a five piece band from Wrocław, Poland, formerly known as Prąd, now reborn with a darker and heavier vision. Step aboard their cybernetic spaceship and drift through oil soaked seas and deep space gloom, a comic book world...

Void’s ‘Live 1982’ is out now on Outer Battery Records, finally bringing two long-buried DC recordings into the open. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/void...

Fifty years on, ‘Live!’ comes back sounding less like the record we thought we knew, and more like what actually happened. Out on 3 April through Chrysalis, the 50th Anniversary Edition brings the full Stockholm gig back as it happened... www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/robi...

STRIKT’s ‘Hur Fan Kunde Vi Stå Ut’ is ten tracks of pure nerve, just burnt out lungs and the sound of a city eating itself while you’re still trying to stand upright in the wreckage. (Out via Beat Butchers Records)

Southampton hard rock trio Agnes Strange never quite got the break their music deserved, and their lone album slipped out in 1975 with barely a ripple, like it had somewhere else to be and didn’t plan on sticking around. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/agne...

‘Kingdom Cold’ by Oceanlord (out via Magnetic Eye Records) leans into its own pace, all low-slung riffs and steady pressure, drawing from doom’s familiar playbook but sounding most convincing when it settles into the groove and lets it hang. Highly recommended!

With their 2025 third album, WRS transcend their garage-psych roots into a hypnotic krautrock odyssey, where fuzz expands into cosmic atmosphere.

Einseinseins draws on everything from Krautrock to punk, delivering a totally unique beast of a record that welds relentless motorik beats to charged social commentary. (Tonzonen Records)

Yesterday I received a very special package containing Billie Holiday 'Songs for Distingué Lovers' on a lacquer disc. This is such a beautifully done edition from Burmester. It's so stunning. ❤️

Long before Scandinavian metal became a global export, there were bands like TRP, a group of teenagers from the small southern Swedish village of Fjälkinge who played as if the world might end before graduation. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/trp....

Sir Richard Bishop has spent decades sounding like a man in dialogue with some older, stranger America, one that lives in backwoods folklore, half-forgotten traditions, battered open tunings and the long afterlife of the guitar itself. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/sir-...

This is a rather strange sounding but ultimately very fine album, largely created and played out by the mind of Hand Of Glory producer Will Twynham.

Doug Kistner is bringing together a massive lineup of classic rock veterans for his latest project, Studio D’Lux. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/stud...

Wild Wild Wets deliver a dark, motorik pulse that transforms the stage into a primitive ceremony. Their latest artifact, ‘Time Mutations,’ creates a self-contained orbit…a driving, lysergic transmission…

Dryewater dropped 'Southpaw' in 1974, a heavy slab of "Charlotte burnout" rock. The band cut their teeth in the late '60s NC club scene, specifically at local dives like Phantasmagoria. It is a rare piece of private press history, back in circulation now thanks to a reissue from Noble Records.

The release of Heaven’s ‘The Invisible City of Kartesh’ unlocks a genuine historical vault from the late 60s British underground. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/heav...

Formed in 1989 by four high school friends fueled by late-adolescent boredom and a shared love for the Cramps and Bo Diddley, the band stumbled into becoming pioneers of a distinct Midwestern cow-punk movement. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/ugly...

Seamlessly blending surf rock, late-60s proto-punk, and Eastern psychedelia, Germany’s the Roaring 420s sound like an obscure treasure unearthed at a California garage sale.

Released on Morgan Blue Town Records Ltd., Phil Seamen Meets Eddie Gomez by the Phil Seamen Trio is a fine 1968 recording that brilliantly captures a remarkable drummer leading an exceptional group.

Philadelphia trumpeter and composer John Vanore has spent more than 40 years mapping an island he has never set foot on, and his new album Easter Island Suite is the vivid culmination of that obsession. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/john...

The Istanbul shamans of Congulus lock horns with Australian astral-plodders Comacozer across this second Reverberations slab, teaming up to unleash a brain-frying, continent-cracking instrumental exorcism of amp-melting fuzz.

Before he helped turn Rhino into the gold standard of reissues, before the books, the Grammys, and the reputation as one of rock’s most obsessive historians, Harold Bronson was a college kid in Los Angeles pressing his own records because nobody else would. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/haro...

‘Pilgrims And Psychonauts’ by Nepal Death (Kali Psyche Records). Oh, yeah, this is a journey you want to be part of.

Ko Shin Moon began as a suitcase full of instruments... www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/03/ko-s...

On their debut album 'This Town' (Heavy Rhythm & Roll Records / Cargo Records), Austrian frontman Tobias Jussel and his band deliver a really compelling recording.  I just love the 70s undertones on it.

On ‘Ven al fuego,’ Madrid’s Mohama Saz manages to capture the sweat-soaked euphoria of their gigs straight onto tape. Driven by the hypnotic sting of an electrified Baglama Saz, the album throws wild Middle Eastern ragas and Mediterranean psychedelia into a relentless go-go groove.

‘Sorcerers Laughing Out In The Heat’ by Marcel Gidote’s Holy Crab is an intricately layered record well worth diving into. The album was primarily tracked in the band’s beloved cottage studio, soaking up the stifling, atmospheric energy of the summer of 2024.

Embark on a journey through the kaleidoscopic landscapes of sound, guided by the rhythms of the past and present, with The Night Tripper’s podcast. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/02/ross...

Spawn spent nine years transforming their murky stoner doom into expansive psych rock, weathering lineup shifts and profound grief along the way. The resulting album channels that hard-earned resilience into a heavy, clear-eyed sonic journey across continents.

Released by the seminal ADN Records, ‘Sur les Bords’ represents a rigorous exploration of analog texture by Dominique Grimaud and Véronique Vilhet, who eschew synthesis to construct a dynamic sonic architecture defined by the iconic saturation...

Two decades constitutes a geological epoch in the timeline of French avant-rock. That is the precise duration of the silence broken by Chevreuil... www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/02/chev...

On ‘The Last Days of Mirror Life,’ Waudby sings like a lone archivist at the end of the coast, fingerpicked chords creaking under stories of drowned towns, stubborn survivors, and the eerie hush of a future that already feels half remembered… it’s a stunning record.

On ‘Pieces for Collective Change,’ pianist and composer Rok Zalokar pushes Zhlehtet toward a denser, more tactile ensemble language, one where composition behaves more like a fluid dialogue. www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/02/rok-...
