Falling somewhere in the middle of an increasingly crowded field of lo-fi psych shoegaze, British group Weird Era calls to mind the works of familiar artists. You can hear traces of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Jesus & Mary Chain, and the Warlocks.
But where those bands constructed albums that contained distinct and different pieces, Weird Era seems to be arguing for a uniformity. Everything seems to melt together. There are distinct parts contributing to a complete piece, you can almost separate the guitars and the vocals in your mind, but they're just far enough out of reach that it's almost impossible to distinguish the music as anything other then one complete "sound." Even the tracks slowly drift into one another as if they're intended to be heard as one continuous piece.
All of Weird Era's work is offered for download on the band's site.
