Under the Spell of Joy

Released

Hawkwind as interpreted by a 60s girl group, Death Valley Girls’ sweet psychedelic pop combines heavenly harmonies and hooks with spacy saxophone and out-there organ into uniquely infectious insanity. Whether it’s the dreamy “The Universe,” enigmatic “Hypnagogia,” or sinister sing-songy title track, these Los Angelenos draw on the conflicting vibes of their chosen home – sunny but filled with shadows, glamorous but chintzy, promising happiness but delivering illusions.
