Altered Zones

If you told us that Sic Alps' new full-length was a long-lost, acid casualty rock epic from 1969, we just might believe you. Napa Asylum, out tomorrow on Drag City, has enough off-kilter songwriting, heart-melting drum fills, and polaroid-quality production to fit snugly in between Skip Spence's Oar and Morgen's self-titled LP in any psychedelic speciality store. AZ contributor Raven Sings The Blues just premiered this video for album single "Do You Want To Give $$?", directed by the band's own guitarist/singer Mike Donovan with the help of drummer John Harlowe. Might be an unknowing response to the similarly recession-themed "$20 Dollar Bill" video by Outer Limits Recordings, but sounds a whole lot more like this.
