Milo's Trip: Ferndale Bands Join a Cult Down in Detroit

Sublimely swirled tones and the dark, dreamy haze of reverb, that tickling disorientation of Doors-ian organs and the steady clap-jangle of a tambourine...psychedelic folk crackles upon the bonfire of broodish/meditative blues-rock, done up right by Detroit-based quartet The Rose Cult..

This track's featured on their forthcoming album (expect a release show around November). If you stream it now, though, then I think you'll find it affects an evocative late-summer sensation: the tawny-tinged ethereal glow of a fading sunset as cosmic crickets start kicking up at the gravel-road's ditches, marched along with woozy allure as the stars start glowing above in the terror-twilight-skies and coax you up into the stratosphere for a spaced-out episode of fuzz-rock escapism.
