The Smoking Trees
Pastiche, homage or parody? Los Angeles
based duo, The Smoking Trees, walk a fine
line between the three at several points on
'Acetates', their new album, which is
available to check out in full here. A
handful of the tracks unarguably provide sublime
psych-pop moments though. Take 'Persuaded
Rendezvous' for example. It's spellbinding
stuff, despite the fact that I'm half-expecting a
muted cover of 'Rain' everytime I hear that
intro.

Hypnotic.
I like this, I like it a lot, I am going to check that album out right now, nice one!
I found the album as a whole laboured the point a bit, backwards guitar on every single tune etc, but at least half a dozen tracks are well worth further investigation.
