"feeling what she's thinking of"
As much as people want to dance, want to mosh their brains out as post punk, surf punk, indie rock festivals (remember festivals?) people also want to chill, to sway to post punk and post rock psychedelia. The music is dreamy and the saving grace at any house party.The track 8 Million is such a song. It is by Atlanta psych rock band Reverends and upon first listen I thought a bit about California indie bands like Allah-Las, Mystic Braves and Cosmonauts (at least the chiller aspects of their surf punk sound) or a combination of all three. On 8 Million, Reverends provide the languid intoxication and chord progs that are classic for this genre and some of those progs have undoubtedly been played by those aforementioned Cali psyche bands. That is no sin, this genre like the blues borrows heavily. The point is how well you do it and Reverends do it well, they keep the slow burn moving like a buzz when you're high but provide guitars sounds that shape shift, squeal, turn into bent alien sounds of life and high life and jam nicely too. What else do you need when you just want to drift away?
8 Million is from the bands 2019 album “The Disappearing Dreams of Yesterday”.

Atlanta psych rock band Reverends has been described as “an ethereal mixture of poignant and evocative vocals alongside effects-laden guitars,” and “outlaw space rock.” Releasing the full-length LP, “The Disappearing Dreams of Yesterday” on Little Cloud Records (US) and Cardinal Fuzz (Europe) in May 2019, Reverends completed a tour of the southwestern US in June. This new record represents the follow-up to the debut full-length LP, “Derealization Blues,” on Fat Elvis Records in 2016.
