Limited
edition 7” from LA's hottest underground psych band!
In a week where, on
both sides of the Atlantic, the political shit heads towards its
proverbial fan, it's reassuring to know that America still makes
great music. And it's similarly reassuring that a small record label
on our side of the pond is willing and able to press this music onto
black vinyl. The Creation Factory are the latest Los Angeles band to
have the kudos of a 7” release on Market Square Records, the small
but perfectly formed bespoke label based in West Sussex.
The band's sound harks
back to an earlier period in the city's musical history, a time when
fuzzy guitars, reedy organ, three chords and a whole lotta snotty
attitude was the order of the day. The A-side is pure riot on Sunset
Strip, the sound of US teens' take on Them & The Rolling Stones.
(Who were themselves imitating US blues musicians! Hell what's the
point in nativism and shoring up borders when internationalism sounds
this good!) Shot through with that garage-punk vibe we all dig, the
track culminates in a band freak-out complete with wailing police
sirens. Get diggin' it!
The flip-side is an
altogether different beast. A dancefloor instrumental containing
funky drummer beats, organ and guitar solos. A surefire smash down
your local garage club-night. Don't leave it too late to bag a copy
of this 7”, it's limited to 300 copies only and I'm not having you
coming round here a-cryin' on my shoulder if you miss out!
