New Age Healers is a Seattle band with a 90’s90s Alternative Pacific Northwest influence, but not in a grunge kind of way. They may have been in MTV’s “Buzz Bin” back in the 90s, but New Age Healers’ “Blowing Smoke Through the Choir” is a lush sonic collection of songs all representing different influences, but infused in a clever way on a cohesive album. Produced by John Goodmanson (Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Blonde Redhead), the album is rich and deep in texture, with excellent songwriting and memorable choruses. The album starts off with “The Fastest Show,” hitting a new Psychedelica drive when the bass line kicks in. Long, drawn out vocals on…

The Crystal Teardrop | Love You More
The Crystal Teardrop is a modern-day psychedelic outfit from Midlands, UK that features guitarist Leon Jones, organ player Stuart Grey, bassist Ed Quigley, drummer Huw Woodward, and most prominently, the lead singer and mastermind of their sound Alexandra Rose. Their latest album, available everywhere October 6, 2026 on Rise Above Records, is called LOVE YOU MORE, and is much worth checking out. Their style of music is a modern rendition of a classic authenticity to popular radio music that has been lost over time: that being the 1960s rock/pop period. The Beatles, Kinks, Stones, Who, and Hendrix were the most popular music of their era, and recorded the religious texts…

Wade Easy | Sea of Night
Capturing the sound of the psych folk scene, “Sea of Night” by Wade Easy taps into the roots of the forest and the underworld of the Appalachian Mountains. Recorded in Morgantown, WV, the album is a slow burn, letting the songs settle under the surface cohesively throughout the whole album.

The first song leads up to a more polished, full band song “Dead Moons,” yet still a low-fi rock representing the production of…
