Mutant Daisies – Minus the Mutants: Did Someone Splice the Cramps & Queens of the Stone Age?

It’s official. I have a new favourite Psychedelic Rock band.

Mutant Daisies have just released their latest single Minus the Mutants and instead of venturing down the same paths as many contemporary Rock artists into a more synthy arena, they have stuck to their roots and created a sound that many people may say has already been done before. However, Mutant Daisies may be the band to challenge critics of revivalist sound after they have audibly breathed fresh new life into the scene with their Garage Punk aggression around the classic soaring hooks and harmonies which the instrumentals synergistically create. The filthily anthemic vibe of the New York based quartet is perfected by Arthur Fitch’s vocals which sits somewhere in between the styles of Josh Homme and Black Keys vocalist Dan Auerbach.

It’s safe to say I’ve found a new addiction in Mutant Daisies latest single through their raw, organic sound which is created through a unique blend of Dream Pop, Psychedelia and Indie.

Quinn Henry Mulligan – In My Room: A Lynchian Riddle of Hypnotic Jazz & Psychedelic Rock

If you gave Quinn Henry Mulligans latest track In My Room 20 seconds of your time, I could guarantee that you’d be in love with his sound in 10. If words could express how utterly sublime his music is, he wouldn’t be doing it right. The track holds so much evocative emotion which is expressed in the most tantalisingly tentative ways imaginable.

For an audiophile, instrumentals are just orgasmic, the sound is so resounding, so clear cut, the saxophone mixed with the guitar riffs cut through you like a knife, and by the time that the track fades out you’ve got a new vice in the form of Portland, Oregon based Folk Indie Pop Sensation.

Quinn Henry Mulligans sound is almost Lynchian with such a hypnotic transcendence riddled within the mind mash of genres. In his latest track In My Room, you can find hints of Jazz, Psychedelic Rock & Traditional Folk that blend together under his dreamy vocal arrangement that combined may just be the most pacifying sound that has ever reached my eardrums.
