  1. Alistair The Optimist
    by Alistair The Optimist
    In The Wake In The Wake
    This is some fabulous folk pop. The songs are rich, splendid, diverse and nuanced, beautifully and engagingly played, and sung with great intensity and sensitivity. Music that sweetly soothes you while retaining, at the same time, some sort of irreducible depth and strength. I could listen to it for hours and I can't help wondering at all the splendid music that Alistair could have penned after this album, had fate been kinder with him.
  2. Echoes From The Universe
    by Mr BISON
    Child of the night sky Child of the night sky
    If you're missing Reflections-era Elder, look no further. This majestic piece of music picks up right where Elder left, with a less labyrinthine but equally compelling songwriting, more singing, Yes-reminiscent harmonized vocals, and an insatiable desire to explore the vertiginous depths of space and time.
  3. New Axial Age
    by The Mask Of The Phantasm
    Red/Blue/Black/White Red/Blue/Black/White
    This is what happens when you blend The Mars Volta, neo-prog, and art rock, making sure that all elements are perfectly balanced. Alexa Rae's vocals are stunning: at times warm, at times edgy, always expressive. The guitar makes itself well heard while never stealing the scene, sax and keyboards infuse edginess or softness, and the rhythm section masterfully ties it all together with sinuous bass lines and ultra-busy, mesmerizing drumming. Solid, solid stuff.
  4. Sinking Creation
    by TRAVO
    Golden Eye Golden Eye
    I often see the sound of this band likened to that of pre-Ilion SLIFT, but they're no copycats. They are way more melodic, more groovy, more nuanced and with more vocals, while stll delivering an ultra-engaging, tense, quirky, proggy, spacey, ever-evolving epic slab of psychedelic goodness.
  5. Astromorph God
    by Travo
    Turn To The Sun Turn To The Sun
    Take a bottle of Ummon-era SLIFT's dense, guitar-heavy psychedelia, and carefully pour into it a vial of DEVO's idiosyncratic vocals and angular songwriting. You might expect to end up with a SLIVO. You'll get a TRAVO instead, and it will blow up your lab.
  6. Love In Constant Spectacle
    by Jane Weaver
    Love In Constant Spectacle Love In Constant Spectacle
    I just love how Jane Weaver keeps finding new, alluring ways of infusing life and soul into hypnotic motorik patterns.
  7. Tuesday Morning
    by Rykarda Parasol
    A Target On Your Back A Target On Your Back
    In her fifth album, Rykarda sheds almost completely her gloomy clothes to sport fabrics painted in '60s beat, textures stitched with vintage French pop, and suits dyed with breezy '70s soft rock. Yet, you can feel that darkness is still lurking under the kaleidoscopic carpets - hiding between the notes, behind the tone of her voice, under the lyrics that have never been so personal - giving the songs enough substance, density and depth to make them great.
  8. The Color of Destruction
    by Rykarda Parasol
    Valborg's Eve Valborg's Eve
    This fourth LP by Rykarda Parasol is her most musically diverse to date (and my personal favorite). For the first time, 50s R&B, 60s psych, 70s flower power, 80s pop-rock and new wave burst into the dark folk horizon that dominated her previous albums, giving the sound a liveliness previously unknown and all the more startling given the stark contrast with the lyrics, which continue to be pervaded by desperate gloom. Still, cogs fit together seamlessly, and the outcome is enticing.
  9. Against the Sun
    by Rykarda Parasol
    Take Only What You Can Carry Take Only What You Can Carry
    Quietly, stealthily, in her third album a few rays of hope fight their way through the darkness; vibes of her Californian homeland peak from a distance, shedding a light over dense and rich tapestries of sound where the band shines as never before, complementing Rykarda's ever-emotional vocals in a languid and organic set of songs where dazzling beauty and blackest darkness go hand in hand.
  10. For Blood and Wine
    by Rykarda Parasol
    One for Joy! One for Joy!
    Compared to her first LP, in this sophomore album her vocal style is even more unique and distinctive, the sound is fuller, piano gets a more prominent role and the mood is more consistently focused on delving into every shade of dark balladeering, as in favoring intensity over variety, but the end result is as striking and as full of unexpected turns as ever, like in "One for Joy", which may well be the ultimate pub song from hell.
  11. Our Hearts First Meet
    by Rykarda Parasol
    How Does a Woman Fall? How Does a Woman Fall?
    Back in 2006, in her first LP Rykarda Parasol penned this dark and sultry set of songs which many have compared to a blend between Nick Cave and Johnny Cash.
    Yet this is something that sounds quite unique, thanks to great songwriting and an outstanding voice capable of both brooding intimacy and fierce power (which at times makes me think of Florence Welch - whose first album came out three years after, by the way). Solid, beautiful music.
  12. SEAWARD
    by MR BISON
    From the Abyss From the Abyss
    Oh, this masterwork makes my mind travel back and forth in time, starting from 70s Yes, moving on to 90s Italian cult psych-grunge band Karma, and then all the way to Reflections-era Elder and Khan from down-under.
    This is Mr. Bison's fourth LP and, to me, it's also the first one where they fully manage to conflate all their influences into a unique, organic, enthralling, liquid yet tempestuous sound. Can totally see why this album put the guys on Heavy Psych Sound radar.
  13. Live In New York
    by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
    Ultimate Hammer (Live) Ultimate Hammer (Live)
    Steamy live that fully captures the indomitable thrust of their music, and the perfect entry point into their discography.
  14. To Enjoy is the Only Thing (LP | 2021)
    by Maple Glider
    As Tradition As Tradition
    Voice that pierces and soothes like a butter thorn. Music slowly gliding over moonlit grass. Lyrics that depict and dissect a soul in such an intimate way that her soul becomes yours as yours becomes hers.
  15. I Get Into Trouble (LP | 2023)
    by Maple Glider
    Two Years Two Years
    I love this album because it makes me feel as if I were in a warm, cozy, tiny room feeling perfectly comfortable, relaxed, blessed, with a bunch of long-time friends, reading verses that make little things universal.
  16. Sealand Airlines
    by Sealand Airlines
    Revenge Revenge
    I see why they call it "Ukrainian Prog". This is like all the tropes of 70's "Western" prog rock eaten, digested, rearranged, and played by contemporary Eastern European mouths, stomachs, brain, and hands. Everything is there, yet everything is different. And it sounds totally cool, tight, entertaining and, well... great.
  17. Full Circle
    by Dead Feathers
    Lightning Lightning
    Wow! Heavy rock that perfectly captures and modernizes the spirit of early 70s krautrock. The Inga Rumpf-reminiscent vocals are a real standout, rising this band a notch above other female-fronted outfits in the same genre, at least in my book. And then you have some über-intense instrumentals and a top-notch songwriting that makes the songs sound familiar and fresh at the same time. If their previous album was excellent, this one's really off the chain.
  18. That’s What Remained
    by Lucidvox
    Naidiya Naidiya
    How I missed these four girls' unmistakable blend of fervent psychedelia, fuzzy mysticism, and Russian folk! This one's is even more ambitious, lush, and adventurous than their outstanding debut. Tunes that feel both gigantic and intimate, totally modern and age-old, thunderous and delicate, noisy and meditative, utterly alien and warmly familiar. An album dripping with unique beauty.
  19. TIEFENRAUSCH
    by TFNRSH
    19 BØNES 19 BØNES
    Laid-back, melancholic instrumental space rock that incorporates post- and prog-rock elements morphed through a psychedelic prism, with quite a few bursts of heaviness and several exhilarating climaxes. Superbly intense music.
  20. Land of Sleeper
    by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
    Ultimate Hammer Ultimate Hammer
    Yes, hit me with those unforgiving riffs, crush me against a medieval wall of noise, drag me into an ancient ritual of doom, send me on a collision course against a dying star, bathe me in a puddle of bodily perspiration, and then show me your brain - I can feel it in every note - and I'll show you mine: you'll recognise it as it's the one smiling.
