Is your bedroom’s aroma a mix of yellowed sci-fi paperbacks and bong resin? Does the reading pile on your nightstand include Ursula K. Le Guin, Zap Comix and Arthur Rimbaud? Do you prefer a car equipped with a supercharger and a T-top? If so, then I urge you to get a hold of Maanta Raay’s self-titled debut LP.

This acid-rock tour de force folds spacetime, sending sonic voyagers through the Vietnam-era escapism of BÖC and Captain Beyond, into the post-Desert Storm chaos of Mudhoney and Monster Magnet. Fronted by Immortal Lee County Killers and Quadrajets guitar-slinger Chet Weise, MR’s thunderous boogie is held down by bassist Mason Hadley and drummer Carlos Ortiz-Martínez, who released this rock odyssey on his own No Sabes imprint.
