  1. 8.0 |   The Music

    They've got the '60s sound down pat with heavy-on-the-reverb, fuzzed out guitars, droning organ

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    It's steeped in the snotty multi-coloured psych of the Elevators, the Seeds, Os Mutantes and, via the parping Farfusa of "Follow Me Home," early Doors. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It’s not derivative, it’s devotional

  4. 7.0 |   Gig Soup

    If you hanker to be transported back to the era of flower power and archetypal naughty rock stars, it's well worth checking out
