Day 0049 - Here are the Sonics


The Sonics "Here are the Sonics" (1965)



Another raw, visceral album.  An early garage band.

The album was recorded as-live, and sounds rough and ready.  The instruments kind of bleed into each other through the microphones; from the tin pan-sounding drums to the wild screams.

A great mix of rock n roll covers (completely eviscerated) and memorable, wild originals.
Apparently their own manager criticised their musical ability, likewise, the producer recording their album was like "what am I supposed to do with these guys? I mean LISTEN to them!"
