Album Review: Night Beats - Who Sold My Generation

The psychedelic distortion of Night Beats evokes, as always, a '60s nostalgia in their latest instalment Who Sold My Generation, with hazy reverb, filthy rhythms and spiralling guitars that would go well with a side of Napalm and cheers of youthful revolution.

Celebration #1 features a spoken word sample and frenzied guitar that could play over a montage of Vietnam War Super 8 footage. Grunge and sonic experimentation run rife all over the minimal production, with live instruments recorded as if from a distance, proving that there's still room in our hearts for good old-fashioned instruments. Strange, outer-world guitar zips combined with jazz piano juxtaposes the album's release as an MP3, pulling the listener into a hallucinogenic aural space situated somewhere between 1965 and 2016.
