“Tree In The Seed” is a new six-cut EP from amorphous San Francisco psych-collective The Love Dimension. A loosely-defined amalgamation of musicians, (they say they can appear with any configuration from ‘solo-acoustic’ to a full 11-member ‘expanded lineup’) this release finds The Love Dimension appearing in our cosmos as a septet. Since it’s just an EP, we’ll do a track-by-track review. “I Promise You” features The Love Dimension’s usual arrangement of male vocals with female harmonies, plus a buzzing-guitar line that darts around the track like a wasp at a picnic.

Red Daggers “Early Grave” Track Review
The Red Daggers’ new track “Dressed in White” is a creeping, crawling experience. A reverb soaked nightmare peephole into their forthcoming album Early Grave. Featured musicians are Peter McNestry on vocals, guitar, synths, and drums; Jesse James on vocals, guitar, and synths; and Mellow Lizard on guitars.
