Underground Brooklyn and Beyond
Been playing some Mad Max on PS4 to pass the time, and given the state of the world been thinking about it a lot anyway so this week lends itself to those desert-psych vibes. All of these bands are on Bandcamp so if you like the music go on over and throw them a few bucks and keep our culture alive. Be well and stay safe!

When this record hit my inbox over the summer, I had no clue as to who New Planet Trampoline were or what I was about to hear.
The record starts off without answers, fading in slowly with the vague and airy mantra of “There Is Nothing More To Say,” driving it’s point home as you’re bounced pleasantly along by a Pink-Floyd shuffle.  Keyboards and harmonies plunge in right after, setting the tone for the rest of the record’s late ’60s psych-pop influence.
