haven’t been able to stop listening to this album - who knew east coast psychedelia was so cool? “mind flowers” could be a brian jonestown massacre precursor - also, modern music could use more spoken word poetry over heady guitar riffs, that’s just a fact.

Hey kid wanna hear some free jazz from hell?
Take a schizzed out trip for your listening pleasure (or displeasure) with Carnival Folklore Resurrection Vol 11/12: Radio One & Two. The album taken from a broadcast of the band Sun City Girls that originally aired on Brian Turner's WFMU radio show in 2002.
Sun City Girls were experimental rock group - though to call them such feels misleading already as they cannot be easily summed up for simplicity’s sake.
Formed in Arizona in 1979 by brothers Alan & Richard Bishop and Charles Gocher they have had an obscure and prolific career.
The band is known for taking fragmented recordings of world music, answering machines, tv & radio media and defying genre and space and time, regurgitating everything and anything in their path and melting it down into a sick chaotic soup of their own peppered with a heavy hand of spoken word improvisation.
This is one of my favourite albums to play while I’m painting or trying to do anything creative really - the constant motion from fragmented thought to thought and genre to genre really keeps the wheels turning.
I frequently throw tracks from it into my other playlists like little interludes for breaks from reality.
So take a trip with your Uncle Jim while he’s all hopped up in amyl nitrate - kick it with beatniks performing ritualistic theatrics with tongue tied mystics & join a cargo cult as you get lost in the paranormal and esoteric wild wild world of Sun City Girls.

it nearly brought me to tears, sharing space and time with a bunch of strangers all marveling at the same heavenly bodies at the same moment

wild story of friends turned into rivals and the two vastly different directions a band can go under the influence of drugs and ego. the footage takes place over the course of a decade and is often pretty raw - overall an incredible doc
