Like Damo Suzuki goes psych-out!
Moo Kid
Smell the glove, me old beauties – IHN006 is here! We Put the Stars Over Our Heads Like Covers is a fifth release by psych rock jaggernauts/psychonauts Skyjelly!
6 mindbending tracks that could only be described as pure Skyjelly + beautiful artwork courtesy of our friend Steve Painter (Dark Sunny Land). There’s also a video playlist to go along with the EP.
We got both bundled and non-bundled versions of the album – former comes along with reissue of Howcha Magowcha, second and final album by Boston’s motley crew Turkish Delight. Very few copies of latter/regular version of the EP remain in our vaults, so get yours before its gone!

Reviews
That distortion is working for me. It’s like time travel to an old gig in a garden. Enthusiasm and gaffer tape are holding it together under the moonlight. – Zolan Quobble
This album opens with mournful tones and simple guitar lines that transports me back to a mid 90’s haze of long road trips, meeting up for gigs and crashing on sofa’s after staying up late talking. It then becomes Ecstatic Lo-Fi with insistent rhythms, freak-out guitar and delirious vocals. A short melodic comedown before the psychedelics are re-upped with K-Dot which is a total trip of massive rolling bass, a wildly echoed vocal and noise. The whole thing is wonderful. – Vogon Laundromat

People Are the Enemy is a (relatively) new podcast run by Andy Mascola and featuring interviews with various guests. Its latest episode features none other than Rick “Skyjelly Jones” Lescault – the grand architect behind Skyjelly whose latest EP we’re putting out on 5/25!
