press release - Cherrystone's Rocks
A beat diggers guide to psychedelic rock.
He may not ‘rock’ a Kangol or sport a Fallini tracksuit but the man know as Cherrystones aka Gareth Goddard is a lot closer to the true b-boy aesthetic than any number of big-beat revivalists still clutching their copies of Apache & White Lines.
For Lo Recordings he has curated an incredible album stuffed full of psych rock odiities from the 60’s and 70’s. Check the first track by Swedish rocker Pugh and if it sounds familiar you have only DJ Shadow to blame.
This is only one track out of 15 that explore an area known only to a few of the most dilligent hip hop producers and record collectors. Obscurities from Sweden, Poland, Brazil, Czechoslovakia and Turkey spanning the whole range of psych, from steaming garage rock that would put The Hives to shame through to intense rythmic workouts that bring to mind ESG and Liquid Liquid.
For beat heads, rock chicks, stoners and lovers of the extrordinary….ROCK ON.
