Album review: ROY -‘Roy’s Garage’: a magic carpet ride around the psychedelic pop globe

  • May 10, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
ROY does nothing exactly new with Roy's Garage, but he does everything with a deft touch and real understanding. If you love British and American psych circa 1966 to 1968, has many an album on Bam Caruso, Edsel, Sundazed, then you should embrace this record wholeheartedly; if your experience of this particular era of psych - before what scientists call the Iron Butterfly event horizon, when pop melody and brain-feeding sonic exploration sit in balance on the scales and before the freakout totally becomes the event - then this album is a great gateway drug. ROY knows. You'd be wise to let him guide you through. It's time to make a little more room in your psychedelic pop-lovin' heart for him.
