An epic bad trip of an album that sounds closer to fellow LA acid casualties the Brian Jonestown Massacre than the sonic extremes of The Warlocks’ last effort. The Stooges/Velvets/MBV influences are still obvious, as on ketamine-heavy highlight ‘Standing Between The Lovers of Hell’, but reckless hedonism and wide-eyed psychedelic exploration have left Bobby Hecksher burnt out and betrayed. The gothgaze equivalent of Skip Spence’s Oar or Barrett: a damaged classic.
