I’ve written quite a bit recently about retro-rock and great exponents like Rival Sons. Garage rock is also getting its resurgence, and yesterday’s review of Crushed Out refers to just one. Another and more garage psyche reincarnation is The People’s Temple More For The Masses. With fourteen tracks averaging between just over two to three and a bit minutes each, this fulfils one of the genre’s prerequisites. It is an album of two halves: the first more garage rock, with a Rolling Stones’ blues with harmonica lift for fourth track Texas Revisited; the second has more psyche elements, like thirteenth The River [Donovan’s Song] with its sitar and mellotron distant background sound and dreamy vocal. Second song Blinding City has a classic quick rhythm guitar riff and then Electric Prunes-like echoed effect behind a raw lead solo. Nothing new, but that’s the successful point.
