Alien Mustangs - Alienation
One of Greece's best kept secrets, Alien Mustangs, unleash their debut full length on May 25th via Sound Effect Records. Hailing from Thessaloniki, Alien Mustangs develop their own brand of psych-rock, through their powerful live shows and DIY releases, finally capturing its transcendental energy and rock & roll playfulness on âAlienationâ!Â
The album is available in limited edition black and clear vinyl and digital download, available via all the known platforms. Alien Mustangs are a group of musicians that follows its own path, regardless of the dominant trend or the usual social media glitch. Based in Thessaloniki, Greece, the band has been steadily pushing new frontiers through a number of releases, combined with the total energy of their live performances. From the opening howl of the âPause / Red Tambourineâ 7 inch, released in March 2013, to the âRiverâ 10 inch EP, out in May 2014, up to âThe Tape Sessionsâ two-track, released exclusively on cassette in November 2015, their mutant psych / space hybrid is deeply rooted in sixties garage, whilst paying tribute to their influences, with Loop, Spacemen 3, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Stooges chiefly among them.
A long player was long overdue, and being an Alien Mustangs LP, it was determinately recorded, on 8 track tape recorder. As usual, the band entered the studio with no preconceptions or big ideas âjust trying to remain focused on the music and let their sonic interactions in the rehearsal room lead them where they might. The resulting product is âAlienationâ, a psychedelic punk showdown that could never have been mapped out, let alone calculated. From the archetypal riff-heavy space rock of âHoly Motorsâ, to the trippy psychedelia of âGoing Nowhereâ, to the four-on- the floor garage stomp of âLSDâ, the hallucinogenic dreaminess of âForestâ, to the post- Summer of Love acid pop of âSleepâ up to the motoric psych-blues of âFollow Meâ, this is the sonic manifestation of a band that captures in the studio its vision and energy with the same abandon as it does on the stage. Drop it onto your turntable and listen to an ahead of the pack brand of rockânâroll krautodelia like youâll never hear again from this far flung corner of the planet.
