Jul 15, 2016It’s not derivative, it’s devotional.
-
UncutJun 23, 2016It's steeped in the snotty multi-coloured psych of the Elevators, the Seeds, Os Mutantes and, via the parping Farfusa of "Follow Me Home," early Doors. [Aug 2016, p.80]
-
Jun 24, 2016Follow Me Home sounds like 1966, but like it’s happening all over again, organically and without premeditation, and it rocks.
-
Jun 23, 2016The brittle garage-punk of this debut positively seethes with trebly guitars, reedy organs, waspish fuzzboxes and urgent drums, with singer Mike Brandon exploring the ramifications of titles like “What Happens When You Turn The Devil Down” and “Flowers In My Hair, Demons In My Head” in tortuous, passionate manner.
-
Jun 23, 2016The music is vigorously played and faithfully captured, but the Mystery Lights' identity seems a little too lost in time.
-
MojoJul 27, 2016It could sound outdated, but instead, done with such panache and passion, it's very much alive. [Sep 2016, p.96]
-
Jun 23, 2016The songs are solid enough, particularly Candlelight (a dead ringer for The Sonics) and Follow Me Home, which has the swagger and punch of Van Morrison's Them. If that whole milieu is to your taste, definitely worth seeking out.
