The Mystic Tide
Frustration

 

リイシューもの

 

 

 

Between 1966 and 1967, Long Island, New York garage rock band the Mystic Tide self-released five singles and burned quickly through a lightning-speed evolution from stompy garage to acid-warped psychedelia with moody, Zombies-esque undertones. Led by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Joe Docko, the band epitomized the obscure youth garage rock experience of the late '60s, creating rawer and more bizarre homespun versions of sounds made popular by bigger artists. Frustration collects remastered versions of the band's 11 songs, organizing their strange arc for easy digestion while illuminating just how far off the beaten path these little-known explorers were traveling at the time. Four-chord rockers like the title track or the misty and distant "Stay Away" are clearly informed by bigger bands of the day like the Seeds, the Animals, or the Count Five, while "I Wouldn't Care" is gentler, with Merseybeat vocal harmonies and an air of melancholy jangle somewhere between the Hollies and Them. While not exactly so different that they sound like the work of a different band, the Mystic Tide's excursions into psychedelia are wildly different than their more accessible material.
