Emerging from South Cornwall’s grassroots psych scene – through various chance encounters at Kernowbeat (formerly Kernow Psych Society) shows in Falmouth – The Heavenly Bodes channel a shared love of classic 60s acid-garage into something immediate and intimate, and specifically rooted in the here and now of the West Coast cornucopia they call home. Fully self-produced, it captures the band’s loose, unpolished spirit – landing somewhere between scrappy garage-rock abandon and woozy Velvets cool. Essential heatwave listening from the @theheavenlybodes with their debut album ‘Green Hills’ ☀ The Cornish garage-psych band’s sun-warped debut is released into the world today – stream it now and grab a copy on limited clear green or classic black vinyl in the Fuzz Club stores! Recorded on reel-to-reel in a friend’s living room between trips to the beach, ‘Green Hills’ features a collection of lo-fi garage-psych numbers that vary in feel – sometimes twisting and erratic, sometimes sedated and meandering – but all drenched in tape hiss and left out on the pebbles to dry. These are salad-days dreams of escapism melting under the summer sun, evoking the clammy rooms from which they came.
