after pressing plant delays and a long anxious wait, we finally get to throw a new PEOPLES TEMPLE lp on the turntable....and i couldn't be more excited........the new album, titled MORE FOR THE MASSES, is brought to us once again by the fine folks at HOZAC RECORDS and is chock full of psych bent hazy garage rockers that'll get you higher and higher........
these lansing, michigan kids killed it with 2011's SONS OF STONE and MORE FOR THE MASSES is, if possible, even better yet........ something must be in the dirty water of michigan, cuz everyone from there seems to be a natural at this kinda of all out garage burning rock n roll.......
their new lp mixes plenty of SEEDS, LOVE, YARDBIRDS and STONES garage power with the deeper darker psych of bands like PUBLIC NUISANCE, 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS, NAZZ and LOLLIPOP SHOPPE..... yes plenty of love for the good ol' NUGGETS set of 60s bands, yet PEOPLES TEMPLE does not sound dated or retro......if anything, MORE FOR THE MASSES stands outside the race of time..... their hazy psych is indebted to shoegaze, britpop and space rock as well as those classic records, so MORE FOR THE MASSES is an epic head expanding journey of its own.......
recommended for those into NIGHT BEATS, THE OH SEES, PURLING HISS, UFO CLUB, COSMONAUTS and/or BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE.......but really anyone who needs to buy one psych record this year, ought to grab the new one from PEOPLES TEMPLE...... it's a repeat listen for sure (which is a rarer and rarer thing in our over saturated music world these days.......)
LISTEN BELOW TO MORE FROM THE MASSES....
and pick up this highly recommended jam from PEOPLES TEMPLE via our friends at HOZAC RECORDS here......
