EDIBLES - OTHER MINDS MEET INNER SPACE LP - DNT
Hands down the most fun record in the mail order right now. Edibles is a project of the prolific Dewey Manhood, the man behind Plankton Wat and major shredder in Eternal Tapestry. He's teamed up here with Dusty Dybvig (on drums?) for some very mellow, very dubby psychedelic freak-outs. Summer morning music. Both players sound super comfortable; the drumming is very groovy, gently propulsive and full of Kraut-y fills and rolls and the guitars and synths present a history of sorts of psychedelic music, from echoing wah-wah to fuzzy riffing to cosmic sparkle to backwards swells, you name it. Groundbreaking? Thought-provoking? No, but neither is driving to the beach or barbecuing in your backyard. Which is to say, this record is a good time, plain and simple. Listen to it with friends. $11
