Compilation info
1.
It is generally not a difficult task to pick out ’60s New York pop and rock. The music tends to have a number of identifying characteristics that render it readily identifiable, usually only a few bars into any given song. Such characteristics include the pugnacious, streetwise vocals, dense fuzz guitar with a certain ruggedness that predicted heavy metal a couple years ahead of the curve, a massively lumbering bottom end with a repetitive thump, a significant strain of R&B, and — most particularly — an immediately distinguishable organ sound unique from other organ-heavy regions like Seattle and Boston. All of those attributes, if they can be called such, are in abundance on Gear Fab’s first Psychedelic States compilation, which chronicles New York’s garage and psychedelic scene. Alongside them you can find the typical teenage romantic angst, snarling insolence, guitar rave-ups, and the Beatles and Stones imitations included in all such collections. The winners here include “Can’t Get You Out of My Heart” from the Rustics (band of the teenaged Faine Jade), the brilliantly dismissive, downright vulgar “Superhog” from the Jelly Bean Bandits (a combo well known to most garage aficionados), the Descendants’ Diddley-esque “Lela,” the Age of Reason’s tough “Dirty Shame,” and “All My Life” by the Taboos (the only true bit of acid dementia present here). If you like the other albums in this Gear Fab series, this one will not disappoint.

Featuring all sorts of bizarre and unique music from the decade of bizarre and unique entertainment, Psychedelic States: New York in the 60’s, Vol. 2 follows the genre as it affected the Empire State. Although the first volume in the series featured a large set of obscure music from the period, this one is even bigger, with 29 tracks, lots of photos, and several interesting stories told by the bands themselves. To any fan of obscure garage rock or psychedelia from the era, this is a prime collection to pick up.

Gear Fab’s Psychedelic States series, which collects vintage ’60s garage rock singles on a regional, state-by-state basis, affords an utterly fascinating look into a time in the U.S. when every basement and garage seemed to have a band rehearsing in it, the visible (and audible) explosion of a true suburban folk movement. Most of the rare and regional singles included in these compilations are badly recorded, poorly performed, and clichéd and derivative at almost every level, which, of course, is probably why they’re so prized by collectors. This volume, which spotlights the raw, fuzzed-out garage bands of New York, is heavy on spirit and energy but runs pretty low on originality (and even lower on recorded sound quality — some of these sides sound like field rerecordings of giant buzzing insects). The fun here is in the verve and unabashed audacity of these bands. Tracks like “Tripsy” by Pebble Episode, the perhaps foolishly optimistic “We Got Time” by the Tweeds, and “Doctor Friend” (which contains the unbelievable line “I know you’ve never studied medicine as such…”) by the Druids are long on punk conviction and delightfully trashy execution, but decidedly short on nuance and polish. Then there’s the track “Destruction,” which is chock-full of spooky organ, but is worth hearing mostly because the band had the inspired or, more likely, insane idea of calling themselves the Thrashing Butterflys of Divine Happiness. It was a heady time. Nothing gathered here could be deemed essential outside of the historical phenomenon of the ’60s garage band explosion, which is often more fun to ponder than actually listen to, when all is said and done. That Gear Fab is making this stuff available is marvelous, though, not so much because a perfect lost rock gem might turn up one day on one of these collections (it doesn’t seem likely), but because this is really the sound of suburban America singing circa 1965-1967. It’s folk music of a sort, the voice of a national community that had no idea it was a community. It didn’t matter if you were a garage band in Arkansas or Indiana, Boston or San Diego, or in this case, New York. Come Saturday night you plugged in, turned up, and pretended it was Shea Stadium. It may have been history on a very small stage, but it was history, and it rattled plenty of windowpanes.
