Uncanny! This music comes at you from many angles. Teens in a garage colliding with booze drugs and girls for the first time lounge lizard hustlers with snazzy stage clothes and fuzz boxes… gnarly backwoods troublemakers meet blow dried glam rock wannabes here seamlessly clobbering your head with sound rather than each other! An electric post-psychedelic bar brawl for your mind awaits unfasten your seat belt crank it up and fly!\n\nSounds Synonymous \"Babylon\" out of Flint Michigan 1969 rip the devastating Blue Cheer classic a new one immediately swarming you with organ swells and distortion before collapsing into a tuff funk groove a psychedelic James Brown vibe shot through with dirty howling fuzz guitar vocals nailing the messed up but confident relaxed sneering attitude of the original Cheer eruption.\n\nThe Bumps \"Shining\" from Seattle 1969 resides right at the transition of ‘60s psych into early prog well constructed no diluting things artsy fartsy style a compelling heavy riff spacious vocal harmony hook floating above a turbulent take on getting your shit together and shining like a star. Fat chance but you can dream the band did and their dreams kick ass across time to right now or you wouldn’t be here. Coulda been a hit back then definitely a hit now.\n\nRiverside \"Farmer\" explodes out of Austin Texas 1974 economical but brilliantly structured riffs and power chords intense dynamic tension\/release fantastic screaming leads over shifting angles of attack during the middle break… it’s all here with a detached confidence in the vocal that swaggers back in time to the late ‘60s in its proto-heavy psych adjacent assault.\n\nCincinnati Joe \u0026amp; Mad Lydia \"Get It Together\" for real in Cincinnati Ohio 1970. The song says everything you need to know: “You may think that you’re the very best miles and miles ahead of the rest but be sure when you’re put to the test you get it together!” These words are deployed in a manner similar to Peter Green’s “Oh Well” intermittently stated between killer gnarly guitar and gushy organ attacks. Bar band heaven and hell rolled up into one big ball the vocals get all the way out there!\n\nStraight Up \"Fire\" takes the monster 1968 Crazy World Of Arthur Brown hit into faithfully executed but surreally minimalist territory Minneapolis Minnesota 1974. Genius version of a key song that presciently cuts to the chase regarding Brown Acid’s incinerations of psychedelic idealism you’re gonna burn burn burn… as that moment climaxes you can gawk at their preposterous flashy lounge band stage outfits and realize side one must end because everything is totally scorched into eternity.\n\nScrap Iron \"Poopsie\" is a primitive two chord stomper with spiraling fuzz and organ riffs singer marking his territory caveman style. “Poopsie you’re my woman” he commands but gets weirdly insecure she’ll blow him off at the altar by the end of each verse. Snarly wah-wah ices this toxic cake out of Carteret New Jersey 1973. Focused delivery so single-mindedly crude it creates an inescapable instant brain-worm.\n\nLady \"Live Show Tigers\" is amongst the most potently life affirming trash rockers you’ll ever hear one outrageously triumphant but fiercely sloppy anthem about living it up like a star strutting the stage glammed up New York Dolls drag style but with a Dictators sense of humor. Tasty slightly off kilter guitar leads all through going serendipitously berserk on the fade. Picture disc single out of L.A. 1980. Fantastic fun rock star rock at a very raw local street level where any time is party time.\n\nKiller Frog \"Hard Times\" on Masochist Records from Chicago Illinois 1972 takes less than two minutes an action packed James Gang style bar band rocker with a bit of punky sneer in the face of misfortune. These guys never even heard of flower power. They are killer frogs.\n\nGood Humore \"Killer\" does kill in stripped down hard rock trio style Warren Michigan 1976. No frills guitar bass and drums groove tight snaky primordial riff snarly licks. “She’s a killer of a woman knows just what she’s doing…” The singer knows she’s a femme-fatale roadhouse predator but she’s so hot the inevitable wreckage seems a bargain. Ride it out like the extended jam on the fade knowing she’ll be back for more!\n\nSarawest \"Space Rider\" winds up the 22nd Trip lost in a twisted two chord space adventure from the point of view of an alien visiting our planet seeking knowledge but finding out we are stupidly destroying ourselves so he gotta split sneering back at us like we wasted his time “I got no time for loving… I wanna be a space rider space rider”. Toronto Canada 1974 a vibe lurking in some strange but funny void between late ‘60s outsider garage psychedelic rock complete with reverb-y acid guitar leads and late ‘70s retro-futuristic D.I.Y wisecracking from inner space… taking the piss out of outer space!\nSide A:\n\nSounds Synonymous - Babylon\n\nFlint Michigan - 1969\n\nThe Bumps - Shining\n\nSeattle Washington - 1969\n\nRiverside - Farmer\n\nAustin Texas - 1974\n\nCincinnati Joe and Mad Lydia - Get It Together\n\nCincinnati Ohio - 1970\n\nStraight Up - Fire\n\nMinneapolis Minnesota - 1974\n\nSide B:\n\nScrap Iron - Poopsie\n\nCarteret New Jersey - 1973\n\nLady - Live Show Tigers\n\nLos Angeles California - 1980\n\nKiller Frog - Hard Times\n\nChicago Illinois - 1972\n\nGood Humore - Killer\n\nWarren Michigan - 1976\n\nSarawest - Space Rider\n\nToronto Ontario - 1974","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48671812878553,"sku":"679065076833","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0468\/3425\/files\/Various-Artists-Brown-Acid_-The-Twenty-Second-Trip-_LP-690858785.jpg?v=1778525619","url":"https:\/\/drownedworldrecords.com\/products\/brown-acid-the-twenty-second-trip-lp-1","provider":"Drowned World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
