The New Mystikal Troubadours - The New Mystikal Troubadours (2009)



/Drone folk, Experimental folk, Trance folk, Psychedelic folk, Epic, Avant-folk, New Weird America, Raga folk/

Comment: Those mystical yet psychedelic and raga-tinged guitar strums variegated with some reversed sonic snippets and drone progressions and (semi-)orchestrated beauty by a New Weird American duo from USA, consisting of Dave Gibson (Agrarians) and Matt Perzinski (Bad Liquor Bond). The self-titled, 6-track album was their debut issue. However, lots of mystics, synergy and magical feel can be felt imbuing from every of their sophistically treated chord. Indeed, the duo have succeeded to lace the past tradition of psychedelic folk with the nowadays modern one.

The New Mystikal Troubadours - Second Spring (2011)



/Psych-folk, Trance rock, Experimental indie, Drone folk, Psychedelia, Avant-rock, Avant-folk, New Weird America, Free folk/


Comment: Second Spring is the duo Dave Gibson (Agrarians) & Matt Perzinski (Bad Liquor Pond)`s sophomore outing (after the self-titled debut album in 2009). Anyway, such kind of psychedelic (folk) music makes most of the times subtly out. No doubt, the duo is able to straddle diverse elements into a seamless blend of psychedelia, drone folk, and psych-folk. But you can get intoxicated on guitar strums and halo-like washes within and around it. In true, experimental folk seems to be their most but not just only realm to get steps into it. At times it reminds of the trance rock incantations by wizards like Jason Pierce (Spacemen 3; Spiritualized) and Peter Kember aka Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3; Experimental Audio Research; Spectrum) or warblely exorcized indie folk songs a la Animal Collective or contemplative drone folk groups like Children Of The Drone, and Natural Snow Buildings. In a nutshell, this is a highly synergic set of 12 tracks and it can be considered a manifesto for beauty in music and universally either. One of the best albums during 2011 so far - by this shamelessly underrated group.
