Comments: Sometimes you can judge a book--or a record, as it were--by its cover. The album artwork for The Living Kills' LP Faceless Angels pretty much tells you all you need to know: this is trippy, bluesy psychedelic rock that will take you back to the '60s and '70s. (In fact, the band used vintage equipment to lay down the record's 10 tracks.) Fans of The Black Angels and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club will enjoy this music, which has just a hint of '80s shoegaze rock thrown into the mix. But the fuzzy guitars, reverb-driven vocals and haunting organ--and, again, that album cover that is freaking me out, man--this is psych rock all the way.

Start with tracks 9, 1, 3 and 5.
