Bleep

Potent, stirring psych-garage here from French savant GR (Gregory Raimo). A Reverse Age synthesises various strains of the garage-rock underground past and present. Black Lips’ mania, Billy Childish’s ramshackle cavalry charges and the hallucinatory dreaming of Ariel Pink collide with those same undeviating stomp-rock grooves one finds in the best of Spacemen 3, The Jesus And Mary Chain and The Velvet Underground. On ‘Hymn Of Pan’ GR also lets his freak-folk flag fly.
