Arcadian Child: Protopsycho LP (grey/white)

arcadian_00

Getting this record on my shelf didn’t go quite like in the movies but more on that later. Arcadian Child comes from Cyprus and that can be easily heard throughout the record. Psychedelic stoner with eastern vibes. I can’t remember when I heard from this band at the first time but when I listened to the first track from this album via BandCamp I was sold, immediately. Mixing stoner rock & psychedelic and adding some eastern melodies they just managed to draw my attention. Stunning release and highly recommended also. Available from the source, Kozmik Artifactz.

Oh, I ordered my copy from the band, via their BandCamp site and it was Oct 16, 2020, when I placed an order. In December, I asked for the first time after the status of my order, the second time at the end of January. No reply. I went and ordered a new copy directly from the record company, Kozmik Artifactz. On February 6th I received a message via BandCamp that the original order is now on its way .. yep, 4 months and soon I have two copies of this stunning record!

The Kings Of Frog Island: VI LP (green/black splatter)

frog000

Last year, more specifically in the second half of the year, I received lots of stunning records. Here’s one of them, the latest from The Kings of Frog Island. When I ordered the record, I had the impression that it was an instrumental recording. I can’t figure out where that impression came and yes, I was wrong. Psychedelic space / stoner album from the first note to the very last one. Very enjoyable to listen to. Recommended music while sitting behind the steering wheel. Transparent blue version of this record is still available from the source, Kozmik Artifactz. Splattered version available from Greatest Hits Mailorder as well as that blue one.

Kitchen Witch: Earth and Ether LP (red/orange blob + black splatter)

kitchen000

Here is one of this week’s winners. Because of my working hours, I lately haven’t had that much time to listen to my latest purchases. This latest from Kitchen Witch (as well as other recent additions to my collection) has been gathering dust while waiting to have some quality time under the needle. The mistake has been corrected and I’m in love with this Australian band. Groovy, bluesy stoner/desert rock combined with beautiful vocals. Highly recommended one and still available from the source, Kozmik Artifactz.

Son Of A Witch: Commanded by Cosmic Forces LP +CD (gold/black)

sonof

This is one of those albums that I have been waiting for quite some time and finally Kozmik Artifactz brought it to daylight. In 2016, I fell in love with the band’s debut album “Thrones In The Sky” and I think it took an unacceptably long time, four years, from this Brazilian band to put out new material. Time to ventilate the ear canals with this crushing beauty. Still available from the source, Kozmik Atifactz.

Humulus: The Deep LP (blue with white splatter)

humulusX

Hmm.. Here I am tryng to figure out how many outstanding bands & records there are I haven’t heard of and how many I will miss?. This release from Italian band, Humulus, could have been one of those but luckily that did not happen. So, how did I come across with this psych/desert/stoner release? Well, going through Kozmik Artifactz latest mailorder additions… and checking them out via BandCamp & Youtube. Really like this record, atmosphere, vibes and clean singing (a few reasons why this record has been under heavy rotation lately). The Deep is still available via Kozmik Artifactz. Recommended!

Demonauta: Part 2 – Temaukel, The Spirit Before Time LP (blue/white marbled)

demonauta

Went through my latest purchases and spotted this one I got before Christmas.. Been a little long since my last blog update (been sick for a couple of weeks and trying to do my work from home due to this global issue with Corona). Once again a band I haven’t listened earlier but now that mistake has been solved. I bought this record from Kozmik Artifactz after listening a few songs via BandCamp. Nice fuzzed/psychedelic/space/stoner album and now I’m forced to get all their previous releases too. It’s that good. Still available via Kozmik Artifactz, so the only question is what are you still waiting for? Go and grab a copy!

Bison Machine: Seas Of Titan LP (clear, white & blue splattered)

bison_maschine002

It took only four years from Bison Machine to release their second album. In this case time itself is irrelevant because here we have a great hard (retro) rocking heavy album. Bought their debut album in 2015 (self-released version) and listened to it a lot during that year, but then years passed by and the record faded into oblivion.. But now it’s time to drag forgotten treasure back into the sunlight, next to the latest one. Seas of Titan still available via Kozmik Artifactz.
