Pisces - A Lovely Sight

Pisces - A Lovely Sight1969's A Lovely Sight, Pisces' only attempt at an LP, never made wax; but the fuzz guitar phrases and tambourine shuffle of "Dear One" instantly illustrate the band's woozy realm. Deeper inside, bass scales borrowed from Sgt. Pepper give way to Who moves wrecked by bad fidelity and harsh intrusions of found sounds. Jefferson Airplane's swirled, lysergic Haight Street utopia melds with the urban narcosis of the Velvet Underground's East Village. But

but also of looking inwards to the soul and of creating music in harmony with the natural world

There’s a deeply intuitive interplay between the group members that comes only from two decades of experimentation

It is the sound of a band comfortable in their own skin

straight-up dance beats and Parker’s fusion-flecked guitar bursts

The tracks are a blend of structured compositions and improvisations accented by the throat singing of Kolja Simon und Felix Mönnich aka AlienVoices

writing for the harp for the first time on “Coppe” and enhancing acoustic instrumentation with modular electronics provided by collaborator Will Thomas

but they're not hardcore – the Replacements are pretty much straight-up rock

It's neither here nor there
