Those who wanted a reliable answer to their questions in ancient Greece turned to the Oracle of Delphi. There, with much fanfare, a girl, the Pythia, was placed over a fissure in the earth, where she inhaled the rising vapors to then supposedly convey the standpoint of the gods while inspired/dazed. Educated citizens know this story from the proto-fascist nonsense film "300." Shortly thereafter, when a certain Electra invented electricity, the foundation for the music of ACID BABY JESUS was laid.

If you find yourself in a bizarre ceremony with these 11 psychedelic pieces, you might get an impression of what was going through the musicians' minds during their self-imposed exile on a Cyclopean island. There is some bluesy garage rock included, but its main purpose is to structure the strange sounds. Furthermore, one can easily sink into the peculiar, sometimes eerie, sometimes insane atmosphere. Sometimes I feel like the person at the organ has dozed off on the keys, creating a penetratingly off-kilter noise in an otherwise relatively tidy song. At other times, it gets raucously punky. The malicious lyrics also allow for a pop approach to become sneakily toxic at times, and the instrumentation exceeds my expertise on unusual musical devices. It’s never boring, though it can be exhausting at times.

While I wasn't convinced by the single release "Vegetable," the music of ACID BABY JESUS unfolds its effect much better over 36:28 minutes. If you enjoy slaughtering a goat with the family on the weekend and dancing naked around it, you can intensify the experience with this music.
