Our Take
Our Take
Texas psychedelia pioneers, the 13th Floor Elevators, have been resurrected once again with this vibrant reissue of their greatest hits. Decked out in eye-catching yellow and green vinyl, this album is a must-have for any collector looking to inject some technicolour into their library.
From the moment you drop the needle, you're transported back to the 60s, a time when music was a kaleidoscopic journey into the unknown. Frontman Roky Erickson's haunting vocals soar over the band's hypnotic rhythms, creating a sound that is both timeless and utterly of its time.
Tracks like "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "Reverberation" showcase the Elevators at their peak, blending garage rock energy with lysergic experimentation. While some may dismiss their music as mere relics of a bygone era, true connoisseurs will appreciate the raw power and innovation that still crackles through every note.
The decision to release this compilation on yellow and green vinyl is a stroke of genius, mirroring the band's eclectic and unconventional approach to music. It's a visual feast that perfectly complements the sonic delights contained within.
In conclusion, 13 Of The Best Of The 13th Floor Elevators is a delightful trip down memory lane that proves the enduring power of psychedelic rock. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and let the Elevators take you on a mind-bending journey through the past.

About the artist
13th Floor Elevators
The 13th Floor Elevators are the Texan psychedelic pioneers who catapulted rock music to dizzying new heights in the 1960s. Led by the enigmatic frontman Roky Erickson, the band's trippy sound and rebellious spirit made them stand out in an era of conformity. Formed in Austin in 1965, the Elevators quickly gained a cult following with their mind-altering blend of garage rock, blues, and pioneering use of the electric jug. Yes, you read that right - the jug. Trust me, it's cooler than it sounds. Their debut album, "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators," is a sonic journey through a kaleidoscopic wonderland, with tracks like "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "Reverberation (Doubt)" sending listeners on a mind-bending trip that would make even Timothy Leary jealous. But as with many cult bands, the Elevators' time in the spotlight was brief. Infighting, legal troubles, and a general reluctance to play by the rules led to their untimely demise in 1969. Erickson's struggles with mental health issues further complicated the band's legacy, but his fearless approach to music remains an inspiration to this day. Despite their short-lived career, the 13th Floor Elevators left an indelible mark on the music world, influencing everyone from The Flaming Lips to Primal Scream. So next time you're feeling a bit square, put on some Elevators and let their psychedelic magic transport you to a higher plane. Just remember to bring your own jug.
