Laid-back but propulsive narco-disco grooves shot through with dub and desert psych. Aside from the lo-fi recording, 936 is very similar to their new album, The Fifth State of Consciousness, which is my favorite (non-metal) album of the year thus far. It's just such versatile music, you know? I'm just as likely to listen to Peaking Lights while driving around in a hot-ass car as when I'm getting stoned -- uppers or downers! -- or putting the moves on my lady.
Track listing:
1. Synthy
2. All the Sun That Shines
3. Amazing and Wonderful
4. Birds of Paradise Dub Version
5. Hey Sparrow
6. Tiger Eyes (Laid Back)
7. Marshmellow Yellow
8. Summertime
Sweetness seems so far away
