Turkish Mindbathers (album)

by Soft Speaker

supported by

Michael F. A mind-blowing breath of psychedelic rock, with one foot in the indie world, and one dangling off the 60's pier. Vocals are stellar, and when SOFT SPEAKER lets loose, the guitars scream and wail. Definitely worth a listen for psych, space rock, stoner and indie rock fans. If MODEST MOUSE were a psych band? These be some tasty bits...!

about

In 2012 Soft Speaker recorded a wealth of new material with Cooper Crain (of Chicago-based band, CAVE) handling engineering and mixing duties. The fruits of these sessions will be released in March of 2013, as a full length album, Turkish Mindbathers, and a 4-song EP, International Scheiße, Dummkopf! The digital release date is March 12th, 2013. Turkish Mindbathers will be released on 180 gram vinyl in May 2013. Both releases are of a mind-folding nature to which puny descriptive terms can do no justice.

The Turkish Mindbathers vinyl release show is May 24th at Empty Bottle w. Bitchin’ Bajas and Radar Eyes!

A million times thank you!

Soft Speaker Chicago, Illinois

...Separately, a ramshackle group of Chicago-based musicians has taken it upon themselves to perform and record these songs in a strikingly rudimentary manner with crude electric instruments, much to the dismay of purist fans who prefer the orchestral versions... ... more
