Following the release of their sophomore album, Fantasy Now!

"Baba Yaga" dances after dark under the influence of 70s eastern European grooves, showcasing the group’s flexibility and willingness to transcend genres. "Spy Balloon" harnesses the whimsical psychedelia of the 1960s ala Syd Barrett, and emphasizes the group's utilization of the studio as an instrument with inclusions of synthesizers, tape delays, and other various overdubs to their harmonious wall of sound.  Get a copy via Bandcamp right here.

Sundazed serves up more Kay Bank rarities for RSD with Heated Garage comp

There seems to be no end to the unissued garage & surf material recorded at Minnesota's Kay Bank Studio back in the 60s. 

Here's the scoop...

Heated Garage – released in a numbered limited edition for Record Store Day on April 20 – is a sonic snapshot of what happened when boundless musical energy and middle American moxie combined to create a cultural phenomenon. The tracks are drawn from a vast archive of Kay Bank master tapes - some are ultra rarities you’d be hard pressed to snatch from the collectors’ market without mortgaging a kidney. Others are alternate versions and outtakes never before released in any form!

“The joke was, some bands didn’t become garage bands because it was too damn cold...you can’t go outside when it’s 25 below zero. So, a lot of people are honing their craft in their basements.” High Spirits guitarist Owen Husney explains.

Knowing more about them is not only unnecessary, it would mar their mystique. They exist forever in a moment of raw rock ‘n’ roll glory that transcends time, a space shared by their Heated Garage brethren.

Looking back on The Pagans’ songs, for example, Kip Sullivan says, “They feel sacred to me.” Recollecting his High Spirits adventures, Owen Husney sighs, “I would go back to those heydays in a minute.” Now he can. And we can all come along.  - Jim Allen
