From the
ashes of two great Stockholm based 60s Garage/Mod/RnB/Psychedelia influenced
bands The Moving Sounds and The Fourtune-Tellers emerge The Alloy Six!! Mixing
Pebbles/Rubble inspired Garage Rock with harder edged Mod/Freakbeat
vibes, for their debut album The Alloy Six deliver twelve tunes dominated by
driving, swirling Hammond organ and 12-string guitar, along with fuzzed out
distortion, super-tight drumming and spot-on bass that give these songs that
authentic vintage 60s feel.
Packed with
Nuggety goodness, Turn Out The Lights is a solid album of cool tracks, combining
up tempo hip-shakers with more lysergic tinged head-swirlers. There are some
top tunes here that any fans of the first wave of 60s pioneers like The
Electric Prunes, The Castaways, ? & The Mysterians, The Standells and The Leaves,
along with 80s Neo-Psych revivalists such as The Prisoners, Mood Six and The
Times are really going to dig. The spirit of Prunes, amongst other great,
classic Garage/Psych bands, are evoked on both ‘Impossible Dream’ and ‘Lights
Out’ making it obvious that The Alloy Six are big aficionados of that era as
they channel these great sounds into their songs. The standout tracks have to
be the fizzing ‘Like It Or Not’, a tripped out ‘Be What You See’ and the epic
Eastern drones and Garage Rock fuzz of album closer ‘You And I’. This is a
seriously groovy record that we recommend for lovers of the timeless sounds of
the first psychedelic era and the energy of the UK Freakbeat scene.
