Triptides: Shapeshifter (Album of the Week)

Ah, psychedelic rock. It's such a beautiful thing. This kind of music takes you deep into the mind and out into the cosmos at the same time. A fine example of this is LA's own Triptides. Their latest is called Shapeshifter and it's one of the best albums of the year. 

The opening track reels you in...and out!

The next track, "More Than A Friend" is an instant nostalgia generator...

And the title track is a transformative journey...

Hail the gods of psych pop!
