Icleansethedoorsofperception A truly outstanding album from my favourite psych band with my favourite track of them (for now) - what else could one wish for? "Centre" manages to take a more "lively" turn compared to the previous albums (which were already strong) so there's nothing to critize here, only pure relaxation to find! Favorite track: Peregrination.

Smekermann Easily one of my favorite albums of 2021, this combines the meditative side of Golden Rise with some absolutely gorgeous kraut/motorik workouts, namely Tassels, Aplomb, and Peregrination. It also has some more straightforward motorik stuff, but, really, I'd just like to highlight Peregrination - it's one of the best psych rock songs I've ever heard. The way the second half unfolds, I just... there's no words (at least on Bandcamp - character limits n all) Favorite track: Peregrination.

Hailing from Perth, Australia, Mt. Mountain deal in a sprawling, motorik psychedelic rock sound that journeys between tranquil, drone-like meditations and raucous, full-throttle wig-outs that’ll blow your mind as much as your speakers. Taking cues from Krautrock pioneers like Neu! and Can whilst existing in a similar world to contemporaries like Moon Duo, Kikagaku Moyo and Minami Deutsch, Mt. Mountain are formidable torchbearers of the minimal-is-maximal tradition.


Musically, the band’s sound is born out of long improvised jams so naturally much of the album was recorded live to capture the band at their most freewheeling. Growing up surrounded by religion but not a follower himself, Stephen Bailey (vocals/organ/flute) describes how, thematically, much of ‘Centre’ is a dissection of faith – both spiritual and secular – and his personal, often complicated relation to it: “The album for me, lyrically, is mostly about my experience of religion. It explores these concepts and the rules that were told to me from childhood to adulthood and my thoughts on my own connection to them. Similar themes arise between the tracks whether it be lyrically or structural, both a play on repetition and simplicity.”


With a number of EPs and singles and three albums behind them – their 2016 debut ‘Cosmos Terros’, 2017’s ‘Dust’ and 2018’s ‘Golden Rise’ – the Perth quintet have picked up a formidable reputation in their homeland and further afield, thanks especially to their wildly all-consuming live shows. Constantly touring across Australia with each release, they’ve also shared the stage with notable down-under comrades like King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and ORB, as well as a long list of international heavy-hitters including Sleep, MONO, Thee Oh Sees, Acid Mothers Temple and Moon Duo.
