The Mystery Lights
The Mystery Lights
Originally from the small town of Salinas, California and now based in NYC, The Mystery Lights’ live shows gradually became the stuff of legend as the quintet won their following one fan at a time in dives from Brooklyn to the Bowery. The Lights’sound has evolved into a fuzz-fueled hopped-up 21st Century take on 60s garage pebbles, and artful 70s punk, that is all their own.
Musical Picks
From Mick Brandon
THE MONK
Black Monk Time
People say they’re the first krautrock band, because they’re in Germany doing tripped-out music and just their approach, sometimes it sounds simplistic but it’s not.
SPUR
Spur of the moments
Super crazy psyched-out record that sounds like someone found it in a basement, super dirty takes.
GANDALF
Gandalf
It’s a trip because I think they’re a New York band that I just discovered but they sound like they’re from some forest. It’s crazy, wild psychedelic music. The use of the delay is interesting, there are flutes, it’s
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Western Front
That’s a great record. It feels like you’re riding a horse through the pasture with no care in the world. It’s got really cool tones and a cool shaky voice that’s just so fascinating.
THE ELECTRIC PRUNES
Mass in F Minor
It’s amazing, it’s like these Gregorian monk chants. David Axelrod is a genius producer so it just sounds perfect. It’s big in the hip-hop world too because it’s got that Wu-Tang Clan backbeat.
