Daydream Machine is a staple on the Portland and west coast psych circuit. Pretty much every time a great psych band plays in town, they tap Daydream Machine as their opener, and why not? Featuring members of The Upsidedown, The Whole Wide World, Hawkeye, and even Souvenir Driver; they make music that exists somewhere between The Black Angels and Sisters of Mercy. This track is an alternate mix of one of my favorite songs of theirs. Its a shorter version than the original track, and more ethereal and abstract. It reminds me of Spiritualized. Its like the cotton candy frosting experience at the end of a meal. I'm honored to close out the curation with this song.
The debut album from Heaven needs is stunning, dreamy psych. They are prepping their 2nd album now (to be released by homies Little Cloud Records). Check them out before they're yuge. IS/WAS
