WILD 1972 DARK & GLOOMY HEAVY PSYCH HOLY GRAIL
MYSTIC SIVA
HABlabel 11005
Rare... long long gone, going on 25 years old 2nd press of this MONSTER heavy fuzz-psych holy grail collectible ... blows away any future repressings, read that fact in the Acid Archives rarities bible...
Mystic Siva’s only album, released in 1972, is a collector’s holy grail in the psych garage scene. This Detroit band had a great name that matched their spooky, minimalist sound, and the lack of information on the band itself added to their mystique.
MYSTIC SIVA formed in 1967, were in their early teens- not old enough to drive to shows, let alone play clubs, and only got round to recording this in 1972. They recorded their sound through a single channel due to faulty studio equipment, hence the primitive sound, but that kind of added to the weird psychedelic vibe that mellows with age.
The track ‘Eyes Have Seen Me’ is a mix of minimalist fuzzed-up guitar groove with hallucinatory lyrics, swirling organs and raw garage punk vocals -- you can feel the effort going with the wild guitar riffs working in it’s own acidic way- the epitome of the underground garage freakbeat sound. There are certain types of underground rock that are highly desirable, more for their mood and atmosphere, verse actual songwriting and talent. The “lost teenager angst” sound is one of the most sought after in this category, as it provides an historic panorama of a certain time and place. Michigan’s Mystic Siva is the Holy Grail for such a sound. Musically, it’s a typical album for the time, not mature enough to be signed by a major label, and the production values are pure garage. The realism of this album just oozes from the grooves, a miasma of doom and gloom. Yep, the girlfriend just left and that dead end union job at the auto plant is starting to look like a very real place for a very real long time. Throw in some high school mysticism, and you have a world class recording from the vaults of America’s "fly over country”. It is rare to capture that mood, that hopelessness, that despair. Mystic Siva did all of this and more.
