TRIPTIDES Psychic Summer (2019 French 13-track vinyl LP, an immersive and sun-soaked album from the Los Angeles psychedelic-pop outfit led by Glenn Brigman, known for their lush harmonies, vintage tones and blissed-out West Coast sensibility.Originally released 2011 on cassette, Psychic Summer sees Triptides refining their kaleidoscopic sound, blending hazy psych, soft-focus pop and retro-inspired songwriting into a cohesive and melodic whole, perfectly suited to long summer listens. This highly attractive pressing is issued on eye-catching Blue, Gold and Red Striped vinyl, making it a standout visual piece as well as a desirable collectible variant. French pressings of Triptides releases are particularly sought after, often produced in more limited quantities than their US counterparts. The record is housed in a high-quality matte picture sleeve, which remains factory sealed, complete with the original metallic hype-sticker affixed to the front. As the copy is still sealed, the contents are unplayed and assumed to be in pristine condition. Overall, this is a Mint, untouched example of a beautifully presented modern psychedelic LP, ideal for collectors of coloured vinyl, fans of contemporary psych-pop, or those looking to add a visually striking and musically rich Triptides release to their collection RPUT26).
