"Television Eyes" by Steady Sun (strreaming below) is one of those songs that only takes a few seconds to keep you hooked. It’s only one of many gently persuading psychedelic tracks on the NYC-based band’s June 2017 remarkable album "Indifferent World." Clearly inspired by the British psychedelia of the ’60s, the band’s paced acid guitars and Hammond organs open up space for Dylan Nowik’s familiarly "out there" melodies. Other surprising instruments appear throughout the album, including cello, accordion, what sounds like an oboe, and the unmissable sitar. Where this project departs from vintage psychedelia is in the controlled pop structure and flawless production, that never falls into the traps of self indulegence (so often triggered by the doping substances this kind of music is linked to!). If you are in the mood for some mildly mind altering music, don’t miss these guys’ show at The Knit on September 23rd. – Allie Miller
