The Myrrors -- Archives Vol.1: Lunar Halo
When you’re a stoner there’s nothing worse than seeing all those reports on the news about how the police are doing so well in raiding cannabis dispensaries. Well, there is something worse: when those raids have a direct knock on effect on your supply. You sit there cursing your bad luck and the fact that everything feels way too real and speedy. Then your friend puts you on to a really handy delivery service. They deliver direct to your door, and you don’t even need a doctor recommendation as long as you're over 21. Sweet. Problem solved, the only thing better than that would be if the pizza delivery guy delivered a baggie as a side dish. Discovering The Myrrors is a little like finding the number for the aforementioned delivery service in your back pocket after all your other avenues of tripped out stoner rock have dried up. After all, there are only so many times you can listen to Destruction Unit. So as you may have guessed The Myrrors are, without a doubt, one of the best modern psych bands to listen to when you're seshing. Specifically, their limited edition cassette Archives Vol.1: Lunar Halo. Any doubt you may have had disappears after about two and half minutes of opening track Lunar Halo Pt.1 when an ambient sweep of noise gives way to the sound of a drum kit falling down some stairs before it settles down into an assured solid beat that leaves you little option but to embrace it. Great fat grooves are everywhere on this cassette, as are breeze block heavy guitars that drop ten tabs of acid, steal a toke off The Doobie Brothers and head off to flirt with Black Sabbath and Hendrix. The result is a release that is easy to get lost in as it weaves its hypnotic spell. Archives Vol.1: Lunar Halo is limited to only 10 copies and is only available at shows and their bandcamp (pre-orders are set to ship out December 1st). These tunes sound current and of a different age simultaneously. Those unfamiliar with the band will find this as good a starting point as any of The Myrrors previous releases, while those affected by police raids and the lack of any illicit party materials will find the album a reasonable replacement for stoned kicks until the weed delivery guy arrives.
Los Angeles, make sure to catch them at the Moroccan Lounge Monday November 20th put together by the wonderful people at Dirty Laundry TV. RSVP HERE.
