Bleep

The London-based Disciples label has a special kind of devotion for Texan psych rock. Especially that of enigmatic Austin band The 13th Floor Elevators. With their ESP Summer (featuring members of His Name Is Alive and Pale Saints) album, and now this Remain Alone covers compilation, Disciples artists have now covered on a not-so-small slice of the Elevators/Roky Erickson oeuvre. Washington DC’s Model Home provide their own vision of the heady 13th Floor Elevators sound “Splash on The Canvas” , rendering it first as a retro-futuristic ballads in the vein of Suicide, and then dubbing that version into something else entirely. Detroit’s His Name Is Alive returns again as well, turning a classic track by the pre-Elevators band The Spades “We Sell Soul” into a surprisingly beatless fuzz rocker.
