Picking up where they left off with 2003’s The Mindbending Sounds of …, these acclaimed kings of garage psychedelia continue a long tradition (since 1979, to be exact) of making rock music seasoned with a variety of 1960s flavorings. Psychedelic Sunrise tops their last release, but not by much: both are superb, multi-textured creations celebrating a genre that other, younger bands try hard to emulate. But here, the Kings assimilate their influences more fully, rather than wearing them on their sleeves. Opening track “Sunrise (Turn On)” shows the band at their best, turning out a classic Kings rave-up with glistening Rickenbacker guitars and fat, layered percussion tracks (are those castanets we hear?). Other tracks such as the glorious “Spanish Sun,” “Dawn,” and “Outtasite!” are outstanding examples of the band melding their many influences into one inspired sound. The recording takes detours from their familiar early-era Stones adulation to dabble in both vintage Pink Floyd and The Who on “Elevator Ride,” and to give a nod to the Merseybeat sound on “Inside Looking Out.” The nasally twang of vocalist Greg Prevost might not appeal to newcomers right away, but after a few songs, his distinct vocal sound is just one of the many instruments the band employs: yes, guitars and organs abound, but so do the mandolin, Mellotron, Theremin, dulcimer, sitar and zither, to name a few. Groovy.
