about

From their own dark and unwholesome corner of the UK’s psychedelic netherworld Artifacts & Uranium have created another monster. They’ve now moved up to Phase IV. This outing sees multi-instrumentalist and sonic explorer Fred Laird (Empty House, Earthling Society) reunite with subsonic maestro Mike Vest (Bong, Drunk In Hell, Mienakunaru, Modoki, Tomoyuki Trio). Back from the subs bench, their ’Pancosmology’ drummer Nick Raybould returns to the fold. As a bonus, they have pulled in their cosmic counterpart from Japan, Mitsuru Tabata (Zeni Geva, Leningrad Blues Machine, Boredoms, Modoki, 20 Guilders, Green Flames, Acid Mothers Temple).

This four-piece incarnation of Artifacts & Uranium make ’Phase IV’ a potent cocktail of beautifully brutal garage rock and dense swamp punk. Cacophonous guitars and radio interference meld with a possessed propulsive rhythm section as baying synths howl at a voodoo moon. It’s a malevolent beast. Every home should have one.

"If you’re a long-term fan of one or more of the participating groups or of modern acid rock in general, you won’t need much convincing to add this gem to your collection. But even if you’re completely unfamiliar with this whole scene, yet interested in dipping your toes into the wide world of spaced-out guitar music, I would highly recommend this idealized ISS homage as a gateway experience to the genre." my full review on Veil of Sound: https://veilofsound.com/2022/09/23/VA-ISS_Vol1.html Der Ohlsen
