The auction is here: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335854222&icep_item=291594150765
Imajinary Friends are a psychedelic juggernaut -- which is not surprising, considering this is a band featuring former members of deluded psych-folksters the Brian Jonestown Massacre, trip-hop lounge lizards Tipsy, and even the drummer from Swervedriver, that late great shoegaze originator who brought the rawk to the genre. But this is no paisley Summer of Love psychedelia; this is pure "Alice down the rabbit hole" brown-acid bad trip. This is Lunchtime in Infinity, an apt title for the psilocybic delights found within. After a brief false lull of an intro, "New Fast Car" drops a bassline straight out of Primal Scream's recent strobe-light frenzies, sending the listener on a full-throttle hell ride accompanied by abrasively high-end distorted vocals and bee swarm wah-wah guitar. "Faked Out" further develops the formula into near formlessness, with distant chain-saw guitars and vocals mangled beyond all recognition that would do the Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes proud, the only constant being a hypnotic rhythm section appropriately evoking both Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and the Doors' "The End."
I will ship outside the USA but additional postage will be required.
Proceeds of this auction go towards funding future releases on Chrome Peeler Records.
