 PSEUDO MIND HIVE: Volume III

Do you prefer your music heavy, but also enjoy hippy music?  Then welcome to the wonderful world of heavy psych.

“Instinct” made me keep listening, and I purchased this album about halfway through “Tempest”.  “Hinterland” captivated me, and “Holy River” puts an exclamation point on the album with its powerful current of cool ideas.  Far trippier than 2019's Of Seers And Sirens,  Volume III is so perfect I cannot justify posting only one tune. You need to hear this one through in order to fully appreciate what's in front of you. 

Pseudo Mind Hive are from Melbourne.  They are:

Christopher Hockey: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, and Lead Vocals
Samuel Drew-Rumoro: Drums, Percussives, Mellotron, and Backing Vocals
Jesse Joannou: Piano, Organ, Synthesisers, Mellotron, and Clavinet
Jack Ainsworth: Bass Guitar
Mark Vincini: Electric Guitar


Even though it's early, I have to think Volume III will be in the conversation for best stoner rock album of the year.

Ka-chow!
