Discovered this album this summer and the band only has 17.8k monthly listeners even though their stuff is so good. Its from 1994 and has a taste of grunge but with some more psychadelic aspects (not quite sure how to describe them.) It really is such a good summer album. My favs off of it are Soul in a Jar, Until You're Forever, and Revolutionary Sister.

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.

while they are now primarily known for heat waves, their old stuff is more psychedelic and groovy. my highlights would probably be gooey & pools, but the whole album works well as an experience. underrated & unfortunately overshadowed :(

love the atmospheric and vibey electronic indie rock/rnb on these two. reminiscent of a chiller Jai Paul. both EPs were pressed into a 12” that I have and it’s one of my most listened to records. their later stuff is good too, but these two EPs were a whole other sound that they never returned to

I think the circumstance you are in when you first hear a song or album is soooo important.
The first time I heard Kid A by Radiohead in full was in the car with my dad, we were driving on a windy road on a cliff by the sea at night, and he had the brights on so the brush in front of the road would be illuminated when we turned, but nothing behind it because of the fact we were on a cliff.
Another first was when I heard In Dark Trees by Brian Eno in a completely silent (aside from the song playing) bookstore that only sold art books, and it was dark outside and I was browsing between the shelves. Perfect vibe if you ask me.
