»Stoned Sixties«: 14 underground bands revisit the music of the sixties – compilation to be released via Der Fuzzer

The sixties gave rock music some of its most enduring riffs, strangest experiments and darkest corners. Long before stoner rock, doom and sludge became established genres, much of their musical DNA was already taking shape in blues rock, garage rock, psychedelia and the heavier sounds emerging towards the end of the decade.

Stoned Sixties brings together 14 bands from the international underground, each taking on a song from that era and interpreting it through their own musical approach. The compilation moves between familiar classics and less obvious choices, drawing on material originally recorded by Cream, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Stooges, Shocking Blue and others.

The selection reaches well beyond the usual heavy rock standards. Alongside »Sunshine Of Your Love«, »White Rabbit« and »Come Together« are songs such as Dave Bixby’s »666«, Nick Drake’s »River Man« and Pink Floyd’s »Cirrus Minor«. There’s also room for the unruly garage psychedelia of The 13th Floor Elevators and the uneasy atmosphere of The Doors’ »Not To Touch The Earth«.

Contributors include Breaths, Fvzz Popvli, The Sonic Dawn, Drive By Wire, Moths, Rainbow Bridge, Fizz Fuzz, Bruno Karnel, Hell Valley High, AcidSitter, Tigerleech, When The Deadbolt Breaks, Sons Of Ghidorah and Burning Sister.

The bands come from the United States, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, France and Poland, representing different corners of today’s stoner, doom, sludge, heavy psych and heavy rock scenes.

Some of these songs helped lay the foundations for heavy music. Others took more unusual paths through folk, experimental rock and psychedelia. What connects them here is the opportunity for contemporary underground bands to approach that material on their own terms.

»Stoned Sixties« will be released exclusively on Bandcamp.
