To say The Poppy Seeds are bold is an understatement. First of all, they cover
The Stooges classic "Little doll" on track one, side one...and they do it well
Althoughtheir name might have you guessing this lp is full of flower power,
puffy/pasley dress shirt vibes, they are actually far more aggro in their
psychedelic approach. The whole album is drenched in fuzz, feed back and wah-wah.
It has a heaviness to it, but it's not industrial. It sits right in that sweet
spot between the repetitive rock and the hard rock place that bands like Loop and
Spacemen 3 do. I'm finding hard to imagine labels like Cardinal Fuzz, Fuzz Club
or Levitation not wanting to jump on this before someone else does. If hard-edged
modern psychedelic space rock is your jam, drop the bread in the toaster 'cause
it's time for breakfast. "Down In The Flowers" is the most important meal of the
day. Colored vinyl.
