Yourself and the Air, “Spirit Mixers” LP

cover - yourself and the air spirit mixers“Paisley punk” is a term I’ve heard applied to the likes of the Black Lips, and it’s equally as applicable to Yourself and the Air‘s latest, Spirit Mixers. Psychedelic, yet slightly sneering, it’s a snotty take on ’60s bubblegum, filtered through a haze of smoke and incense.

It’s a Sunday afternoon record, for sure. When the hangover has faded, but riffs aren’t quite yet palatable — you’re still drinking water and haven’t yet moved on to Bloody Marys — this is one of your go-to records. Think Animal Collective with fewer delay pedals.

It’s available on mixed swirl or black vinyl from the Lujo Records store.
