Take a Cruise to------>>>>Guards

So today I'm about to shuttle my ass back from Chicago to Michigan (again after seeing a particular Detroit reunion to appease my inner youth a couple nights back) to enjoy life in the UP for a few days with some choice compadres.

And Guards are going to take our car off the road. We'll speed about 10 over across the sky, steadily trailing smoke. Guards will be a part of the ink to commit such fleeting moments to an eternal mental canvas. Listening to their new EP (free on their bandcamp) I feel as if I've already heard it in a hundred different places. Pure psychedelic bliss.

Guards- I See It Coming
Guards- Crystal Truth

Sunbeam Rd - Turtles, Magnets, Animals EP

San Francisco's Sunbeam Rd are releasing their new EP- Turtles, Magnets, Animals TODAY on their Bandcamp (cassettes seemingly available as well). Here at Tweaking, we love well-done psych rock more than we love houseboats. And we fucking love that shit. So where does this leave us? Thoroughly stoked.

Turtles, Magnets, Animals is a lush, rolling waltz of spaced-out indie jams and memorable hooks. Listening to the EP, I feel like I'm taking a peculiar walk through a damp night, passing through thoughts amidst brilliant reflections of streetlights and the stars overhead. Perhaps still a little blazed. But perhaps not. Perhaps you should just judge for yourself.

I'm definitely keeping an eager eye on Sunbeam Rd. But if I were in California, I'd probably treat my eyes to seeing them live on their upcoming mini-tour.

Check out my favorite tracks off the record below-

Sunbeam Rd - Burial
