I recently found myself revisiting the highly underrated self-titled record from Repent or Forever Be Damned. Frustrated by the lack of information regarding anything concerning the band I shot off an email to the official site assuming it would bounce back. Much to my delight, I received word that a new record was potentially in the works but, in the meantime, I should probably check out Barfly the Musical.

Recorded at RCA Studio B, the album features songs penned by Molly Jamieson and a hefty list of contributors – including David Mead, Butterfly Boucher, Fleming, Lindsay Jamieson and more. My knee jerk reaction might be to shy away from such a list of collaborators but, honestly, it’s an incredibly well conceived, well executed, sometimes beautiful, sometimes hilarious, always interesting kind of record.

Over the weekend a trusted friend of mine posted that The Sufis were Nashville’s best kept secret. Unsurprisingly, I had not heard of them and assumed his claim must be true. I did a little digging and, turns out, they’ve got a self-titled full-length record out on Ample Play (UK) and Burger Records (US). Based on the tracks on their Soundcloud is pretty safe to assume if you’re a fan of 60’s pop-psychedelic numbers you should be diving right in.

Challtalk Record Collection II
Digital Album

Thus far, Echo Group is batting 1,000. Their previously released Challtalk Record Collection and Mom & Dad Split are all top notch. Volume two of the series continues this trend. Go grab it.

I tweeted about this last Friday but, in case you missed it, be sure to check out the first recording from Ultras S/C called Black Face Time.
