Anyone even remotely interested in the whole "Neo-Psychdelia" craze that's been going pretty strong over the past several years are no doubt familiar with the Sunburned folks. They've amassed more than 100 albums amongst their dozens of offshoot bands (around 30 releases in 2007 alone!) on several different labels (including the likes of Fuck It Tapes, Ecstatic Peace, Smalltown Supersound and their own Manhand label) and have a sound that touches on experimental, psych, folk and beyond. With each new release, you never quite know what you're going to get - but you can guess that it's gonna be one helluva trip.

Earth Do Eagles Do is my personal favorite (that I've heard so far anyway, which really isn't all that much compared to all of the stuff they've done) - as it tends to stick to a more traditional psych rock oriented style. This album in particular is from a live show (recorded in Finland, though I don't know the year) and the energy as well as the groove are definitely present, not to mention there are vocals on most of the tracks as compared to several of the other albums I've heard where they're pretty scarce.

As with probably 80% of their material, this is long sold out as far as I know so this is probably one of your few chances to give it a listen.

Favorite Tracks: Don't Get Burned, Gateway Circle
