Though they bow to Captain Beefheart (a.k.a. Don Van Vliet), The Vliets have graduated from their guru and are now generating their own brand of post-modernistic psych rock. Check out "God’s Drug EP", a 4-track master class in cool groove construction. Propelled by keys + guitar + Ty Bohrnstedt’s understated, 60-ish vox, this release’s confident, slow-gro compositions will lay claim to a spot on your heavy rotation list.
There’s a reason these guys came in 1st in the 2012 Best of Austin poll – Check it out.
