Playing rippling, raw and loose psych rock,Ghost Woman evoke Hendrix, Beefheart, Lennon and even The Kinks.

With Kumoyo Island, their fifth and final album, Japanese psych rock outfit Kikagaku Moyo go out with an emphatic bang.

A sonic union of percussive, industrial restlessness and experimental electronic ambience, Société Etrange craft an undeniable atmosphere with just a few instruments that enthralls and entices from the get go.

Like the best art, PAINLESS plays on expectations while working within them, memorably balancing restraint and release.
