It's Pretty Cool When a Psychedelic Five-Piece Rocks a Bank Vault

And just like that, a new record is set as five-piece Toronto psychedelic band, Pretty, join us for an intimate session in the Safe Sounds bank vault. Boom!

This one will tastily melt in your mouth like the death of a rich relative you barely even knew.

For a space just over 6ft x 6ft, we were a little apprehensive about fitting so many musicians in our walk-in safe, but the result speaks for itself... Inheritance is a lush psychedelic track performed here with folk instrumentation and tones that glue together cohesively. Thank hell for that!

Pretty is Torin Craig, Eliot Rossi, Will Macquarrie, Brian Heyes and Morgan Zych.

The band has made quite a name for themselves with a string of high quality, high impact releases. Their normal rock approach takes side-stage for this session as they replace the familiar electric instrumentation for acoustic and steel string guitars, bass, percussion and even an accordion.

Folking hell, it's pretty cool.

Check out the video now and visit the SS YouTube channel to subscribe and be notified with each new video. This isn't the only thing we've got coming from Pretty, plus they've also got a hot new EP which is due to drop July 28th 2023.

So mark your calendars, scrawl across your walls and dream about the future. It's pretty.

Your Grandad Needs His Poison

Your Grandad’s new single, Poison, has the band expanding their vocabulary into realms more subtle and eerie than anything we’ve heard from them before.

That's right, the new single Poison is released today - go listen on Spotify or support the band directly on Bandcamp.

Lyrically introspective, vocalist Cameron Kirk wonders aloud about the things he consumes and the experiences he’s had, and whether or not these things are any good for him.

The track feels like a question. The rhythm section provides a simple, locked-in groove which underpins an expressive guitar, evoking the image of a never-ending blue-grey spiral.

Think of a whirlpool in slow motion; no longer chaotic but still with a sense of inevitability. As the last lines of the song are sung, the music fills out a little more, but just as the band really gets going, everything but the drums fall away.

The dissonant two-beat phrase that opens the track returns, and then silence. Until it comes back.

Listen to Your Grandad's Poison now! Oh, and a massive shout out to artist Mitch Lohmeier (@houseycult) for the sick artwork. This release is the gift that keeps on giving.

Idious Carrie Teams Up With RUM DO In New Music Video

The new music video for RUM DO's electronic pop single, Riv Alla Murar, is out now! Watch it above or on our YouTube channel.

Riv Alla Murar features guest vocals from Idious Carrie, AKA Desiree Das Gupta of Toronto psychedelic rock band Kali Horse.

The music video features RUM DO's classic combination of real-life footage, shaped and merged with digital visuals. Join them now to be taken on a transportive psychedelic trip and see if you can spot wild Indian elephants!

Speaking of the new single and music video, Bill Cutbill said -

"Never has a RUM DO track been so 50/50; it's almost two tracks in one."

"We begin by establishing a digital landscape with spiky textures which Idious Carrie's vocals flow softly over. The tension ramps up and up before it all falls out of the sky. After that, a janky classical guitar line takes hold."

"I'm very proud of the video, which comprises processed footage from my recent trip to India. As always a very special thank you to Idious Carrie for her contribution to the RUM DO legacy. I hope you enjoy!"

Riv Alla Murar is taken from RUM DO's third and final EP, You Just Have To Be. Stream it now or pick up a limited edition cassette via bandcamp.
