Barnburner by Icarus Peel and Mordecai Smyth

Icarus has crafted two exquisite new songs for the Barnburner EP which he shares with Mordecai Smyth. ‘Auntie Powers Her Nose’ is a hook laden slice of classic psyche pop. With a nod and a wink to the late Sixties, it’s an infectious earworm that will stay with you longer than an all-day gobstopper. It’s followed by ‘Crystal Jacqueline’, a beautiful ballad that evokes memories of long, hot summer days and heavenly daydreams. It is as close to perfection as mere mortals can aspire.

Mordecai Smyth follows up his Dial M For Mordecai EP with two songs that find him in a mellow mood. ‘Out In The Stars’ has a dreamy psychedelic vibe and uplifting chorus that invites the listener to turn off their mind, relax and float downstream. Its companion, ‘Drifted Along’, evokes the spirit of the late Sixties Moody Blues with consummate grace and style. A lysergic foray into the vicissitudes of love and life, it will have you surrendering to your inner Shangri-La quicker than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Mega Dodo are pioneering the most significant and in terms of progression and originality, forward thinking psychedelic rebirth since the early 80s.
