Maybe all ‘60s-loving psych rock bands should just give up now unless they’re from San Francisco or willing to move there. You can’t throw a roach clip in the Bay Area without hitting a hirsute, pseudo-hippie rocker who sounds utterly and completely of that style. These current Frisco bands sound not only like they drink the water, but like they were baptized in it and maybe just now, decades later, they’re old enough to shave. Cool Ghouls are a particularly remarkable little gang of musicians that sound entirely born into it, and they’re doing things that make you scratch your head and wonder, “Why didn’t (fill in the blank) do this back in 1967?” They use trumpets, they mix a little ‘50s doo-wop with the blues, they yodel (okay, only on one song) and story-tell, and they mash up bands like The Count Five and The Byrds. From the gleeful jangle rock of “Natural Life” to the wild, thrilling gallop of “Things I Seen” and the Nuggets-era gem “The Barber,” The Cool Ghouls are truly bringing something new to the vintage sounds we love.
