Bat-Bike - Getting Back (2016)

It feels like a lazy day but like a weird lazy day where like cool ****'s happening around you but you don't really wanna take part in it cause you're pre-occupied with some other stuff you gotta get done.

Oh this is great, by the way. I love the aforementioned scuzziness of the record, like Ty Segall from a dimension where people get their kicks from surfing and DMT trips.

8/10 for sure

Bat-Bike - Getting Back

This is a great progressive rock album, with the lengthy sounding 'Leicester Holiday' needing some sitar but otherwise making me desire a healthy bowl of curry. The vocals on 'Sean Lemon' made me think of Whitney Houston meets Sonic Youth, which makes a lot sense considering this project's heavy influence from 80's New Jack Swing. There's a great throbbing bassline that would have turned this into a killer single during the boy band era of the late 90's. 'In Zero' has a loose, psychedelic feel right out of an obscure Quentin Tarantino film with John Travolta, but the lyrics are straight out of the Pink Floyd psych-pop playbook.

All in all, I wished there were a couple of club bangers featuring Beyonce that I could put on with my bae when we go out in the Prius, but when I want to return to 1967 and shoot up heroin, this is the soundtrack for reliving those days.

8.3 out of 10
