If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Julia Khoroshilov NME has called The Mystery Lights "one of New York's finest garage rock bands," and after listening to "Purgatory," we're agreeing with them. The new single is loaded with the kind of vintage psychedelic garage rock you love from The 13th Floor Elevators and ? and The Mysterians. Plus, it's just oozing with the proto-punk freak outs of The Stooges' best seven minute album cuts. Psychedelic rock and punk are typically on the opposite sides of the musical spectrum, but The Mystery Lights make you desperate for more of the sound. Vintage garage rock and early punk fans are going to adore The Mystery Lights. You can watch the video for "Purgatory" below. Purgatory , the album, is due out September 13 on Daptone Records' new imprint Wick Records. It's available for pre-order here .

There are a lot of bands out there that get compared to The Beatles, and with good reason. The Beatles were unquestionably the most influential band of all time, and bands like Oasis have made entire careers off admitting to sounding like The Beatles. The new single from Michael Rault definitely sounds like The Beatles. "Sleep With Me" has a lush production and warm harmonies, and sounds like it's from the late 60's, early 70's. If Rault's press release had claimed he was an undiscovered artist from that time and this was his lost album, I'd completely believe it. Although, instead of sounding like late 60's era Beatles, to me it sounds like George Harrison and Paul McCartney went off on their own to form a duo after The Beatles broke up.  You can watch the video for "Sleep With Me" below. Michael Rault's forthcoming album will be released on Wick Records, the rock imprint of Daptone Records. For more on Rault, check out his website ....
