Entries about the music I like.
Various Artists – Simla Beat '70 and '71
The idea that a battle of the bands competition like Simla Beat even existed, with bands coming to Shanmukhananda Hall from all over India is proof of three things. One, that where there are teenagers, there will be idealism. Two, that those who braved incredible odds to form rock bands are indeed worthy of respect. And three, that psych rock really transcended cultures.
The Avalanches — We Will Always Love You
It’s important to contextualise any Avalanches release with the story of how seminal their debut release, Since I Left You is. When it was released in 2000, the album was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. It was dance-pop built out of a crate-digger’s dream. Their third album, We Will Always Love You is a sunshine-happy record of psychedelic electronica.
