As a result of hitting 1,000 fans on their Facebook page (which shouldn’t stop you from still doing so), Chicago up-and-coming psych outfit Secret Colours released their newest single for free via BandCamp. The A-side track, “In The Absence,” is a floating world of sexy bass lines and sitar/guitar adventures with a heavy lean on the Revolver spirit. Head over to their BandCamp to download the acoustic B-side, “Carry My Soul.”
Speaking of Revolver, check out Secret Colours’ cover of “Tomorrow Never Knows.”

Released a week after their self-titled debut, here is a hazy fuzz-driven rendition of the Beatles’ already psych-heavy Revolver stand-out “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Be on the lookout for another Secret Colours post soon, these guys keep pushing out excellent retro-psych tracks.

Secret Colours, one of my favorite new acts this year, are a psych-outfit from Chicago with a sound that’s both old and new. Out back on August 3rd, their self-titled debut is a refreshing mix of retro-psychedelia and modern-day indie rock bliss, exploding with big 3-4 minute acid pop jams from beginning to end. This album is a must for fans of Sweden’s Dungen or Australia’s Tame Impala. Here’s three sweet MP3s from the debut, “Love,” “Jellybean,” and the hidden track “Popster.” Pick up the album from their BandCamp for $10, no news on a physical release yet.
Also, here’s the oozing and shiny video for “Popstar.”
