Song of the Day: Ozric Tentacles – Waterfall Cities
by Brooks Rocco on May.17, 2009, under Reviews
This year’s Bay to Breakers event was an experiment. We didn’t quite know if floats were legit; we didn’t quit know if drinking in public was legit; we didn’t know if general good times were legit.
Fortunately for everyone involved, the party was legit, and we all raged like Paul Baloff would have wanted.
Mushrooms make you see things
The song that was blasting throughout my brain throughout was Ozric Tentacles’ trance masterpiece, ‘Waterfall Cities’. Goddamn, I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face listening to this one, blasting through town on my bike on my way up to the Panhandle to party.
The Ozric Tentacles are a unique band – they go from the most minimal ambient swirly psychedelic jams to the highest grade slammin dub blast party bombs you’ve ever wanted to hear, all in a live band. Forget vocals, the Ozrics don’t waste their time in providing exactly what your dome needs to hear. Waterfall Cities is one of the best comps they’ve brought to us in their 29 album career (and yes, they’re all good).
The title track on Waterfall Cities kicked my ass on my way to Bay to Breakers and kept my bouncing all day. It was an epic event this year for me, and I can imagine it was for you too. In fact, if it’s Sunday and you’re reading this, then you haven’t quite broken the bay yourself, haven’t you?
Check Ozric Tentacles new album “The Yum Yum Tree” out now, but really catch them at ‘The Independent’ in San Francisco on May 27th.
