The Railyard: Tracklisting


The Railyard


Review:


The Railyard is the epic new song from Psych/Fuzz Rockers Damage Therapy which takes a dark creative stab at portraying a different style of Progressive based sounds. The song can be all over the place within a narrative sense but in a good way. Psychedelic sounds and ambient rhythms combine with glitchy sound effects with subtle distorted guitars that take time to appear within the first few moments of the track. 


The Stoner based grooves don’t fully appear until the third minute and Damage Therapy opt for a kaleidoscopic blend of world-weary Garage Rock based riffs. The grooves become more progressive along the way with the vocals being more Alternative in places. Damage Therapy operates with a darker narrative compared to other Psych/Stoner/Fuzz Rock bands with the music still offering a wide range of extended progressive based jams.


The production values are very good indeed whilst still having a raw Punk Rawk sound. It’s not overly produced and allows Damage Therapy to show off their DIY Underground Roots. The song may not be for everyone but there’s a whole ton of demented fun to be hard with The Railyard and I’m hoping there are plans for a longer release such as an EP in the very near future.


Excellent and Highly Recommended.
