Rocket Recordings have an excellent reputation for uncovering some of the best modern psychedelia around. Their latest release ‘Silver Sun’ is the first new music from Italian space-rockers Lay Llamas in over four years. Since the departure of vocalist Gioele Valenti, Nicola Giunta has taken the reigns on the new material, writing, recording and mixing everything himself. It’s a pretty impressive comeback with that ever faithful Krautrock drum beat providing a solid backbone for a hive of experimentation. Synthesizers and saxophones dance lucidly above the stomping rhythm as Giunta's surprisingly catchy vocals slowly hypnotise you. Lay Llamas new album Thuban comes out on the 15th June. -Holly Mullineaux
