New Liquid Sound Company does not happen every day. The Texas-based psychedelicatitians have trickled out few songs on Bandcamp over the last few years, most notably up till now the single “Black Light Corridor” that made its way through the muck of an otherwise-distracted May 2020 to shine with lysergic tales of turning to custard and potential defenestration. A follow-up to that track arrives with the new video “Mahayuga” — anyone looking to dive down a rabbit-hole of Hindu cosmology can go ahead and Google that — and though the track in question only runs about four and a half minutes, it does indeed seem to stretch time, classic sitar psych interweaving with molten rhythm and guitar effects purveyed by John Perez, best known for his work as founding guitarist of doom metallers Solitude Aeturnus.

The prospect of a new album, which will be self-released and titled as per the band as Psychoactive Songs for the Psoul, from the Liquid Sound Company is welcome, to say the least. Their Bandcamp loaded up in 2017 and there’s a treasure trove of shroomy goodness to be had there, but the discography it draws from dates back as far as the mid ’90s with the release of the band’s debut album, Exploring the Psychedelic, in 1996 through Perez‘s own Brainticket Records. They’d later hook up with respected purveyor Nasoni Records as one of the few American acts ever to release through the Berlin-based label — fellow Texans Wo Fat are another — for 2002’s Inside the Acid Temple, and keeping their one-per-decade track record going, a third LP, Acid Music for Acid People, would arrive in 2011, also through Nasoni and Rockadrome in the US.

You see what I mean with “not every day,” but if you believe in due, Liquid Sound Company are due. 2021 will mark a decade since Acid Music for Acid People, and “Black Light Corridor” and “Mahayuga” both make it plain that their cosmic luster has faded not a bit. You’ll hear some edge of classic doom amid the riffs that emerge, but it’s all about the swirl here and there’s plenty of that to go around. And around. And around. You get the idea.

With the hope of more to come, enjoy:
