about

West Coast ghost squad Topaz Rags re-emerge from the dry hills with a new single, their first material since Capricorn Born Again. Recorded in the haze of winter in a room lit by one blue bulb, "The Crown Center" is purist nightprowler noir: quaking bass, grimy keys, and threadbare drums, with witch choirs floating out of the smog and into sleeping homes with the power lines cut.

The flip (“You Go On”) slips deeper into the psych / psycho psyche, a bleached rhythm grinding into darkness while voices and electric piano arc across the mix raining ash. A grimmer glimpse into the Topaz dimension.

Known for creating albums based on themes, this LP is fittingly dark and mysterious... Exotic, hazy electronic excursions that lead to dead ends and more curious corridors. Perfect for taking fantastic voyages inside one's mind. ~ DJ Megasoup (Selaroda) ~
