Denmark‘s Causa Sui, who recently released their three-volume vinyl Summer Sessions series as a triple-CD box set, are a prime example of the differences between European and American hippie rock. Where US hippies are still sucking the long-dry teat of Grateful Dead-aping jam bands and pretending they’re anything other than commercial ’90s alt holdovers, European bands like this trio are throwing a hefty dose of psychedelic originality into what they do and making something that’s as much worth hearing as it is doubtless fun to play. Point: fucking jam bands suck, heavy psych kicks ass. Here’s Causa Sui live at this year’s Burg Herzberg Festival to back me up. Don’t let the fact that they look like a bunch of guys who’d try to hit on your girlfriend at the airport in Luxembourg stop you from grooving out.
