Maybe a more common term than post-psychedelic is post-apocalyptic, and perhaps they are quite similar. In the mire of an acid-addled anxiety, comes a select kind of clairvoyance. Barbeau’s eyeball to the microscope happens to be paired with his good brain, and a nice set of vocal chords – all cuing us in on his take on the post-apocalyptic matter. “Dog Star” is a proto-hard-rock, Roky meets Bolan kind of track that would have paired great in a moment of Heavy Metal. Featuring a guest guitar spot by the amazing Barry ‘The Fish’ Melton, of none other than Country Joe & The Fish, “Dog Star” has burning experimental guitar layers from the hands of someone who was actually at Woodstock – all further proving that there is no post-psychedelia, there is just psychedelia.

 

Anton covers the Soft Boys classic “Queen of Eyes” with a heightened, mature sensibility. The chef’s kiss quality of the song shines through in this rendition, fronted by the nicely swirling flat-top guitar. At a slightly more slow-dance pace, his appreciation for Robyn Hitchcock cuts through – allowing each and every one of the thoughtful lyrics to pierce your core. Nicely done, Anton.
