Then I put on Dream Machine and poof, a puff of smoke and a familiar looking magician appears, beckoning for me to jump through his top hat and we‰۪re off! The vibe makes a deft jump from Warm Soda‰۪s terse power pop to tongue in groove swinging proto-metal a la Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Heart, and more than a hint of LA‰۪s dark masters The Doors‰Û_Doris absolutely murders the organ all over this thing, along with some perfectly placed synthesiser pepper - it‰۪s just jammed with hooks and pulsing vintage vibes but in an unassailably clever and accomplished manner. This band is going to be the background party band of the summer I can already tell, this sounds like a saturday night satanic ritual in a sunsetting Austin backyard, everyone dressed to the nines and we‰۪re fuckin goin‰۪ there man. If I didn‰۪t know Melton already I would have lost my shit seeing this out in the wild - expertly played, fantastically recorded (at A = 432 hz, by the way) and just a real tasty party platter of a record here for you ‰ÛÒ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRIYL: Vanilla Fudge, Blue Cheer, Uncle Acid \u0026amp; Dead Beats, Purson, Iron Butterfly, The Doors, Brown Acid‰Û_ oh yeah!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322638840185,"sku":null,"price":15.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/dream-machine-the-illusion-south-records-ltd_59b15e06-fa95-4f6d-adc3-5ee0a54178a4.jpg?v=1787902728","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/dream-machine-the-illusion","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
