Possum - Lunar Gardens (Idee Fixe)

You can almost tell from their album titles of ‘Space Grade Assembly' and 'Lunar Gardens’ what Possum will sound like, and you’d be right, with their music being a great mix of psyche, garage and prog, topped off with a healthy dose of space-rock, and that's the focus for this album. The urgent garage rock of their debut has given way to trippy psychedelic workouts in amongst the driving riffing, and it's all great stuff.

Possum – Space Grade Assembly (Garment District Records)

 

Toronto quartet Possum mine the same 60’s psyche-drenched garage rock as King Gizzard, and then add some crunching riffs and a healthy dose of Grateful Dead/Can to come up with an energetic and exciting collection of hard-hitting garage rock. ‘Ice Cream’ slows things down a bit, but generally its foot-to-the-floor rock all the way, with the hypnotic kraut-rock beat of ‘Worms Hollow’ being a particular favourite.
