Making their debut on Wick Records, New York's own Steady Sun deliver two sublime sides of ethereal psych. We're not talking about your run-of-the-mill fuzz fodder here, folks - Steady Sun delivers some of the most refreshingly satisfying psychedelia in decades! "Truth is the Needle" floats out of the speakers like lysergic vapor, engulfing the listener in layers of delicate guitar, spaced-out vocals, and pulsating bass that swirl around the heavy, grounded groove - generating an intoxicating juxtaposition. On the flip is "To Lash Around", whose insistent beat and hook-heavy melody will send you through a sonic wormhole that marries the experimentation of Barrett era Floyd with the hypnotic bounce of 1990s Manchester.

2021 finally brought a new album by one of the Daptone's "house bands". Again, the Menahans deliver their signature instrumental soul. Great stuff, often - but not always - calm and mellow and very relaxing to listen to! Carsten Pieper
