Grails: “Chariots” from Grails & Pharaoh Overlord’s Black Tar Prophecies, Vol. 5 / Palmu (Kemado, 10/30/12)
On this split LP with Finnish psych experimentalists Pharaoh Overlord, genre-splicing instrumental outfit Grails offers a masterful command of melody. Each song is like a miniature psychedelic Western score, offering smoke and twang with harmonized swells and acoustic timbres. Take a trip with “Chariots.”
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
