Up-Tight "Sweet Sister" ...All That Can Get Heavy...

All That Can Get Heavy...

I first heard Up-Tight by way of Steven Krakow's Galactic Zoo Disk label in 2005 because of my obsession with Kawabata Makoto.  A CD only release at the time sporting a VU's tribute cover art scenario happily entered my world , how can you go wrong...?

Always vigilant for pending releases by Up-Tight (pre-order here) after that was a given and what I have, has been slowly acquired.  UP-Tight are a slow burner psychedelic rock band, at it since 1992, the group have a handful of predominately ltd. self released, cds, cdrs and a cassette or two and very few records.  Up-Tight play a largely drone oriented, improv style of music which draws on some of the early sounds of Guru Guru , the heaviest acidic jamz of say the Velvet Underground as well as the influence of Japanese Psych forefather Godz Les Rallizes Dénudés.💕  It's all very wild and so fucking wonderful! 💣💕👽 

This 1st time waxing comes at the behest and hawkeyed Cardinal Fuzz headmaster Dave Cambridge.   Dave obsessively dwells on and knows always,  what's best for you and I with regard to the proper musical diet.  Previously only a self released CDR "Sweet Sister" exemplifies perhaps what Up-Tight do best;  they slow roast that fucking grey matter until the juices flow correctly and you trip the light fantastic on the way to suffonsification ! This newly minted first time vinyl is one 45 minute track, split over two sides and builds to perfectly cooked! You are served the Wagyu Filet Mignon of psych right here people!!  When you hit side two, you are into the heaviest part of the dish that relentlessly sports the syncopated, heavy, downer drone of unwaivering tribal drum propulsion framed by snarling, snakey heavy guitar histrionics.  It's like the greatest loop from a God whose acid fueled intention leaves no leftovers on a plate.  Pull the trigger on this record from Up-Tight, you owe yourself a bonafide top dish every so often.  "Sweet Sister"  is on pre-order in the UK at Cardinal Fuzz Friday, March 3rd and in the USA at Feeding Tube Records through Forced Exposure.       JW.👽
