Gonerfest 10 Welcome from Ross Johnson

Goner Records To Reissue Australia's COSMIC PSYCHOS:
Down On The Farm (1985)
Cosmic Psychos (1987)
Go The Hack (1989)

COSMIC PSYCHOS
Sometime in the winter of 1989/90, I wandered into New York City’s Midnight Records, a store famous for its deep catalog of 60s garage and psychedelic music, as well as a strong selection of classic punk rock, and a cantankerous French owner with ridiculous hair. On this visit, instead of hearing a puny French bootleg of The Standells or the Seeds, as I opened the door I was enveloped in the massive opening chords to the first song on the Cosmic Psychos then-new album GO THE HACK. “She’s a lost cause / she’s a lost lost cause!” blasted into the air at maximum volume. In a perfect cinematic moment, the drums announced my entry, the bass dictated my walk, the air became thick with guitar fuzz and wah wah, and snarled vocals described perfectly a girl’s descent into a cause which was lost. Instead of record shopping, I felt like I’d stepped into a biker movie and was motoring down a long straight outback road on a Harley. This was my introduction to the Cosmic Psychos and I was hooked.

I loved that a band could be so powerful and sound so big and unapologetically simple, and incorporate so much of what I loved about music - well, basically the attitudes and sounds of the Stooges and Ramones, setting up songs with a good title or idea, matching it with a massive riff, then running it out with squeals of wah wah and manly disregard for cleverness or adornment. AND THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE COSMIC PSYCHOS! They obviously had no regard for “makin’ it” in those days when an alternative rock band at least had a chance to sell some records. I was an instant fan.

Earlier records proved to be the same formula with even less refinement, and that was definitely a good thing. These were lovably manly Aussies singing about what they knew best- farm equipment, lusting after Elle Macpherson, wishing they were in Van Halen (for the ladies), drinking at the pub, and even more drinking at the pub. Trivia question: In what indie rock song does the lead singer bellow, “I love my tractor!”?  Answer: NONE! No scarves or looking like Stevie Nicks straight out of the hairstylist’s for these fellows. They were the real deal before the deal was dealt. And couldn’t care less.

The Psychos enjoyed a long run through the 80s and 90s on such Australian labels as What Goes On, Mr Spaceman, Survival, and Rattlesnake, as well as American stalwarts Sub Pop and Amphetamine Reptile. Many bands from that era no longer seem vital today, lost in a murk of crisp drums, loud guitars, flannel shirts and shallow aspirations. These first Cosmic Psychos releases feel as timeless and necessary as ever, still a bullshit bulldozer, a blurry loud night at the bar, a rollicking time hanging with the guys. The time has come for a new generation to be uplifted by these initial blasts from the Cosmic Psychos. Goner is proud to partner with Melbourne’s esteemed Aarght Records to once again bring these platters of primal perfection into a world that definitely needs them. As Ross yells in Go The Hack’s “Back In Town,”

“We’re B.I.T.! BACK IN TOWN!”   

Indeed.

Whaaaaaa? There's a lot going on here. I don't know what kind of beef these guys have with Dionne Warwick - but it sounds serious. Are they anti-black or anti-white? Or just anti-astrologer? Either way they are destroying people's ears and dreams. This is the soundtrack to a failed alien abduction. Bonus points for dumber-than-Hawkwind take on the Equals on the flip. Eddy Grant's flying the spaceship. Party.

Mudhoney - I Like It Small

Human Eye 4: Into Unknown
Release Date: May 7th, 2013

It's hard to believe that it's been close to ten years now that Human Eye have been churning the upchuck muck of the underground's last remaining unturned stones into a heady grind of alien bile and motor city lunacy, but it's really been that long and if you're somehow still not converted, you're probably not the adventurous type anyway. Timmy Vulgar and Johnny LZR have been honing their space punk madness from an inanimate blob of throbbing energy as evidenced on their earliest material, into the sophisticated slime that remains today, and whereas their primordial poundings left the "man-from-ape-with-synthesizer" theories thoroughly divided, their most recent material cuts through the dense complications and drives forward a cohesive, mind-splattering array of "what's next in punk," just as they have been doing since their planetary landing back in the mid 2000's. 

With their newest album, Human Eye 4: Into Unknown, the formidable Detroit decimators return with a pack of soft explosions and aural hallucinations destined to coalesce into a solid punch in the brain, cornering their sound into soaring anthemic shards of acid punk's forgotten tangents, melding bug-eyed prog squiggles with heavier-than-thou guitar fuzz, all ceremoniously glazed with Vulgar's inimitable streamlined skronk. Ink-soaked squid and jellyfish guts aside, Human Eye definitely know how to put on a show. But just as you could say that the theatrics are aimed at distracting you from their own guttural punk dimension, the other-worldly songs forged out of broken light bulb pieces and the slime from expired lunchmeat does wonders to the unaffected brain and causes tiny lesions that absorb all the filth and dementia uttered from Vulgar's tortured trachea, and reinforce the fact that Human Eye are undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of unique modern music. 

-- Todd Killings (Hozac Records / Victim of Time)
