I just couldn’t skip this latest album from Here Lies Man. I have their first two records and I’ve always been excited about their way of making music. This band is so unique, their way of combining psychedelic rock, afrobeat and stoner is a great idea. Some might say that all their records sound the same .. but so do all of Volbeat’s albums, and that band isn’t my favorite, Here Lies Man is. Still available from Riding Easy Records and european customers can easily purchase this one via Kozmik Artifactz.
Here Lies Man: You Will Know Nothing LP (clear + booklet)
Yep, second one from Here Lies Man on clear wax including booklet (limited to 100 copies). Got this hmm.. last week but haven’t had a time place this one under the needle until today. Band’s debut album (that was released last year) was quite amazing and “You Will Know Nothing” goes to that same category, bringing some fresh air to stoner/psych genre with some afrobeat included. Some may find this band and their records way too hard to chew but for me this is just pure sweetness for my ears. Clear one is sold out from the source, Riding Easy Records, but they still have regular black version available. Friendly Records in UK seems to have some light blue copies (limited to 300).. Anyways, if you’re interested finding a copy near you I suggest you to search a copy via google (like I always do). Great record.
Here Lies Man: Here Lies Man LP (clear)
Been waiting for this to arrive and finally I got this here with me. I don’t know anything about this band but it took only one track , “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”, and I decided to purchase the album. Strange one this surely is, mixture of hazy psychedelic stoner rock with some afrobeat. Strange and refreshing, in other words this album sounds awesome. Swedish Goat has now proper competitor, even though I don’t like to compare bands nor music they are performing. This is available on clear (ltd. 200) & regular black vinyl from RidingEasy Records (US), Rough Trade (UK) is selling solid green exclusive vinyl version (ltd. 200). Awesome record, in my opinion!
