Our Take

After emerging from obscurity with their cult classic album "Mice and Rats in the Loft," Jan Dukes De Grey returns to the scene with their latest release, "Strange Terrain." This eccentric duo transports listeners to a world of psychedelic wonder that is as mind-bending as it is infectious.

From the moment the opening track "Weird Ropes" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The blend of folky melodies, trippy synths, and enigmatic lyrics creates a unique sonic landscape that is both hauntingly beautiful and utterly unpredictable.
