This week's PBS Feature Album is Cosmic Seeds, the latest album from psychedlic Naarm/Melbourne locals Brown Spirits.
Following on from their 2023 album Solitary Transmissions, plus a string of sold out 45s on Soul Jazz Records, Brown Spirits return with their new full length release recorded and mixed by the band. Cosmic Seeds sees the band continue their DIY tradition of 1960s and 1970s inspired thunderous psychedelic jams and excursions into krautrock. Whilst reflecting strong democratic musicality, the trio branch even further out from their trademark motorik leanings, and venture deeper into funk and jazz flavored territories with moog-driven melodies and beyond.
Hailing from Coburg, the band maintains a strict DIY recording ethic and come with a swag of global album releases, the two most recent being on UK's acclaimed Soul Jazz Records thus landing Brown Spirits as the first ever act from downunder to sign with the label. With support from national radio and accolades from abroad, the prospect of sharing stages with some offshore musical inspiration such as Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witchfingers (USA), Minami Deutsch (Japan) and Yawning Man (USA) has recently become a reality for the trio.
