about

Black Bats return with their follow up album to 2019’s self-titled debut - “Daylight, even worse sunshine, are definitely not the right setting for consuming the quartet's excellent debut album from Melbourne, Australia.” - Gereon Helmer, OX Fanzine

Psychic Retreat ventures further into the realms of garage, punk, and western psych, delivered with a tighter and punchier focus. If ‘Black Bats’ was crossing the desert plains, ‘Psychic Retreat’ is the seedy motel on the other side.

Out via Cactus Records
CD through Off The Hip Records

Solid psych. They're one of those bands that creeps up on you (in a good way). Here's my full review - http://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=8662 Nik Havert

Raw proto-punk akin to the Stooges meets chill vocals. Love the overall atmosphere of this EP and can't get enough of it. Vanja
