The Baudelaires: Their hypnotic contact high psych-rock sounds combine rich analog fuzz and reverb drenched licks with an occasional single-minded motorik drive. The group has been compared to other modern-day dandies like the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Warlocks, The Black Angels and Thee Oh Sees as well as earlier custodians like Spaceman 3 and originators like Texan psych pioneers The Thirteenth Floor Elevators rance-inducing whips and furs clamour of Plastic Exploding Inevitable-era Velvet Underground and like-minded ‘60s New York radical minimalists The Godz. Night Rites: Through the ritual of drone and the ceremony of modulation, Night Rites create dynamic and rhythmic textures that build and decay in an oscillating projection of dark psychedelia. Reforming in 2021 through a mutual love of vintage instruments and effects, Night Rites was born of late night ideas dreamt up backstage in some of Adelaide’s most loved music venues. Following a successful 2022 which saw the release of debut single Dark Patterns and a number of live performances including the sold out show with veteran psych rockers Tumbleweed (NSW), Night Rites have released their debut EP Den in Jan 2023. Mixed and Mastered by Brett Orrison (Jack White / The Black Angels) and Owen Penglis (Goliath / Straight Arrows), Den takes the listener through a dark world, a landscape molded by dark driving synths, textured guitars and hypnotic rhythms.
