It’s easy to guess Acid Baby Jesus’ shtick just going on their name but to those who aren’t already in the know: don’t be fooled into thinking these are just another quasi-religious, LSD-loving psych-rock band – these Greek garage-rockers are big news on the international psych/rock’n’roll scene. Acid Baby Jesus are more concerned with pure, unadulterated garage-rock hedonism.
Formed in Athens in 2009 the four-piece have two LPs behind them – their debut LP, and demo collection Selected Recordings – and after a long, three-year wait they’re back with the new album Lilac Days – their first on Fuzz Club Records, officially released yesterday. The album sees ABJ’s scrappy, frenetic garage-rock, distilling a hazy, incense-scented mix of 60s Western psychedelic pop, traditional Eastern folk, and scuzzy rock’n’roll sounds. Check it out.
