LA band Froth match 13th Floor Elevators-style reverb guitar to the same sense of psychedelic desolation that made the Brian Jonestown Massacre such a fascinating band, and they end up with a sound that hits the high notes—yeah, we said high notes—from at least two or three decades of secret underground guitar exploration. Their recent LP, (available in a few formats from Lolipop), catches them at their best, but they’re approaching that point in their life cycle when a new album may soon be emerging. If their very recent 7inch (recorded by dios’ Joel Jerome) is any indicator, they’re foaming at the mouth more than ever—it’s sharp, raw and beautifully discordant in all the best ways.
