Plastic Crimewave Syndicate + Mac Blackout / Blue Fantasy split LP

Cardinal Fuzz and Echodelick Records are blessed to bring forth this slab of wax featuring on one side - Plastic Crimewave Syndicate + Mac Blackout and on the other side - Blue Fantasy.

For years, these Chicago scuzz-punk psychedelic have long been turning turned on heads as the USA’s answer to Hawkwind, CAN, AMT and a whole slew of the most cosmic of mind-expanding brain-fryers out there. Here you are blessed with 2 tracks of comic devotion - a nuclear blast of motor city acid-punk, Japanese-style skree and throb, synth punk, no-prog, and freak funk displaying all the gnarly heaviness that PCS have long made all their own. Hereby joined by American visual artist and musician Mac Blackout blowing on the Saxophone to add to the cacophony/symphony of sound ala Monoshock-meets-Comets post-Stoogedom spaced ritual-rock opus.

Flip over for Blue Fantasy - Hailing from Saskatoon and Regina and featuring local legends of the scene - Shelby Gaudet (Radiation Flowers), Chris Laramee (Shooting Guns / Radiation Flowers / Wasted Cathedral) and Christopher Sleightholm (Snake River / The Sunshiny Daze). The Blue Fantasy side navigates the sonic playground of Spacemen 3, Galaxie 500 and BJM (think Satanic Majesties), as it emits a wondrously narcotic northern lights psychedelic glow. Through tales of love and loss, Blue Fantasy’s grooves stretch out and drape you in heavenly vibrations with a hypnotic cocktail of feedback, fuzz, jangling guitars, eerie organs and reverb-soaked vocals that creates a sci-fi-hurricane kinda groove.  Get a copy via Bandcamp right here.  Watch Plastic Crimewave Syndicate in action below.
