New Winged Wheel Single Drops
It amazes me how indifferent the indie scene seems to be to Winged Wheel. The band features indie rock stalwart Fred Thomas, rock legend Steve Shelley…not to mention folks like Cory from Spray Paint, Whitney Johnson and Matthew J. Rolin; this is a fucking indie rock supergroup if there ever was one! So yeah…they’ve got anew single from their forthcoming Desert So Green LP, and it operates in the fashion of a discordant Stereolab; the progression of the song definitely pulls from a psychedelia meets kraut-rock fusion, losing all pigeon-holing as it spins you around and around. I loved the cavernous effects that rocked through the vocals, seemingly distant yet locked into the front of the mix so it draws you further into the tune. The latter half of the song has this great little breakdown that twinkles and sparkles into this harrowing bit of psychedelia that should have your ears pinned back so you can grab a copy of the new LP; it hits on January 9th via 12XU.
