very limited indies only clear tangerine lp, drifting in on a curl of los angelean haze, the third album from the psych rock quartet is a laidback smear of heatwave dapple, gallivanting grooves. ‘strange weather’ sees levitation room bringing former brian jonestown massacre keyboardist rob campanella, jason kick (mild high club), and black crowes’ joel robinow into the fold and, in the process, drawing on a wealth of formidable sixties influences whilst ushering them through their own kaleidoscopic lens. they might give off an air of effortless nonchalance but, when they crank those dials, they bring a gloriously gold-hued thunder to proceedings.
