Album of the day: The Warlocks – The Mirror Explodes

Lovingly pinched from Drone Magazine: Los Angeles psychedelic stalwarts, The Warlocks, continue their aural journey with their new long-player, The Mirror Explodes.

Last years release by the Warlocks, Heavy Deavy Skull Lover, rated as one of my favourite albums for 2008. Playing almost like one extended track, the band took their psychedelic sound into interesting territory, maintaining the sheer force of their immense sound, while also adding a vulnerability to it not seen on earlier albums. You won’t find 14 minute jams on The Mirror Explodes, the latest release from the band. The longest track runs for a considerably shorter 6 or so minutes. The shortened format of the tracks probably lends itself well, considering this is such a subdued and restrained album.
