Review from Raised by Gypsies: raisedbygypsies.blogspot.com/2019/01/cassette-review-imp-of-perverse-imp-in.html

Inclusion in Various Small Flames' "Bright Sparks": varioussmallflames.co.uk/2019/01/14/bright-sparks-vol-20/

Sean Lochridge is what you would call 'prolific'. Currently drumming for Austin's favorite psych pop prog art rock band Sherry, Sean's also notably formerly of popular Austin psychedelic bands π and The Halfways. But as in high demand as Sean is for his drumming, he's also a wildly talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and home recording artist, all of which shines through on this massive compilation release, "Imp In Reverse".

"Imp In Reverse" compiles four of Sean's past releases under the moniker Imp of Perverse in reverse chronological order to create one gigantic, shifting, psychedelic auditory flashback totaling in 22 songs and nearly an hour and a half in runtime. That might sound daunting, but we're gonna take it one act at a time, so don't worry.

Act I: "Not Getting What You Want, One Step at a Time"

Consisting of 4 'scenes', this act is an excellent entry point to the Imp's brand of genius. Dense, yet light. Polished, but organic. This is an excellent blend of dreamy and catchy, and is likely the most accessible of the 4 acts.

Act II: "There's Everything"

This 5 scene act is the experimental one, particularly with regards to "Exspectra" and "Pixelated Mindfuck in the Infinite Reality Corner". Off-kilter melodies and instrumental breaks are prominent. The rabbit hole is here.

Intermission: "Chrysalis"

This is a brand new song exclusive to this release. You're welcome.

Act III: "togethercoloured instant"

This is a brief but absolutely gorgeous 3 scene psychedelic folk love letter dedicated to Sean's girlfriend and muse, Lily.

Act IV: "Who Knows"

This is where it all began, this is where it ends. The 9 scene debut act of Imp of Perverse closes out this story. This is the most raw, heavy act. Distorted guitars, loud drums, dynamic performances, bursting with youth, vigor, ambition, and life, this is the explosive genesis of the Imp's solo endeavor.

Whether you digest it in parts, or gorge yourself on the whole thing in one sitting, "Imp In Reverse" is an undeniable document of virtuosity and versatility. Absolutely no fan of psychedelic music should miss out on this huge collection.

DEMO CD-R
by BRUNDLEFLY

"Local metal" as a genre. Self-aware about how dumb it is, yet completely devoid of pretension. Also it rips. Under the Counter Tapes

Anabasis
by The Rifle

Top shelf sun-baked garage pop from Arizona. Gorgeous, ethereal vocals, incredible guitar tone, one of the best rhythm sections in the genre. Perfect soundtrack to chasing a mirage in the desert. Under the Counter Tapes

Coming of Age
by (Eli)zabeth Owens

An apparently ambitious and personal work of progressive psychedelic folk rock. Many of the arrangements here are astounding. Supporting a good cause is certainly a nice bonus. Under the Counter Tapes
