In recent years, indie rock has seen a resurgence of the psychedelic sound, and lately the term "psych" is referenced to musical artists just as often as "indie" and "folk". However, sOUSALVES manage to create psychedelic atmospheres that don't belong to any current NYC trend, as they reference instead the genre's original sources directly. A few notes from their new album "eMerGin.See" are enough to throw you into a time warp: these trippy, psyched-out sounds are as raw and rough as MC5 and as intense and energetic as circa 1967 Jim Morrison. Frontman and creator Paul Alves dips into so many genres and influences that it’s impossible to keep track of all of them. What’s most important, though, is that he keeps things emotional, honest, and fresh. - See sOUSALVES live at Local 269 on 11.22. - Loren Diblasi (photo by Ninth Circle Photography)
