Our Take

The 13th Floor Elevators have always been the psychedelic pioneers that take us on a journey through the cosmos with their mind-bending music. Their latest album, "Bull of the Woods", released on white vinyl for Black Friday 2023, is no exception to their trippy legacy.

The album kicks off with a crash of thunder and a whirlwind of distortion, setting the tone for what's to come. Frontman Roky Erickson's vocals soar over a cacophony of fuzzy guitars and hypnotic rhythms, transporting listeners to a place where reality and dreams collide.

Tracks like "Livin' On" and "Sweet Surprise" showcase the band's ability to blend garage rock with elements of blues and folk, creating a sound that is both familiar and otherworldly. The chemistry between the band members is palpable, with each instrument adding its own unique flair to the overall sonic landscape.

But what truly sets "Bull of the Woods" apart is its fearless experimentation. From the swirling organ solos to the avant-garde song structures, the album never stays in one place for too long, constantly pushing the boundaries of what psychedelic music can be.

In conclusion, the 13th Floor Elevators have once again proven themselves to be the masters of their craft with "Bull of the Woods". So grab your white vinyl copy, sit back, and let the music take you on a wild ride through the psychedelic wilderness.

About the artist

The 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.
