Ariesta Birawa Group

Somehow the Ariesta Birawa Group, an Indonesian trio from the early 1970’s, manages to channel the psychedelic west coast druggy vibe, perfectly. Just listening to the drugged out vocals and the nicely played guitar leads gives me such a big contact high that I think I’m soaking in a vat of patchouli oil. There’s also lots of flute and organ to add that perfect accompaniment to the preceedings.

It seems that Shadoks Music exists solely to make sure we don’t forget about these lost gems (look here). I’m not sure how they keep finding these amazing world psychedelic relics, but I sure hope that they don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

    This reminds me of Dungen, an underground pop sensation from Sweden. Really cool slice of 70’s nostalgia! Keep em’ coming
