More Rock For Free! [RkFr22]
14 January, 2013
This evening, I'm presenting two guitar-focused artists that cost zilch for you. Not profound or tragic by any means this time - just some pure sonic exploration this time. Check 'em:
Electroshock Therapy: Haven't you been loving the neo-psychedelia that I've found for ya in this blog? Here's some more spaced-out rockers for you, then. At the outset of their self-titled EP (i.e, "Hey Little Girl") Electroshock Therapy sound like devotees to the mid-60s, blues-tinged style popularized by Ten Years After. However, by “Psychadelicacy”, this band’s psychedelic sound blossoms with sitars, free-form guitar jamming, and a strolling bassline, all of which sound more Britpop-esque than anything else. Indeed, after the opener, E-Therapy takes a decisively 90s approach to the drug-addled 60s, with its crisp production, upbeat tempos, and modern guitar effects. Solid release, really, at an unbeatable name-your-own price.

Fastlane Frank: Amateur UK producer - known as "Leonod" on last.fm - who tinkers with heavy guitars. With little more than a pair of guitars and a slammin' beat, this dude dabbles with all sorts of sonic experiments on Tophats and Capes, lending to some sweet surprises, like the twist ending on "Greenpigs Patchwork Pipes" . An outlier, "Pencil Neck Moth", tones down the strings at first, with what sounds like distorted acoustics - until the electric guitar cuts back in like a buzzsaw, and later echoes out to a fade. And then there's just that MASSIVE sound in "Venus Floptrap", followed by some wicked guitar jams. Completely instrumental, totally rockin'. Download one song at a time for free on last.fm - and complement Leonod for the sweet tunes!
