It's Hookworms (France Edition)! Damn! That was quick. So, Dalai Lama Rama Fa Fa Fa are young Parisians with a taste for all things Spacemen 3-esque. Infact, they are pretty much wholesale ripping on their style. Totally valid in my mind as long as it's done right. Opening tune 'You Make Me Crazy' dives head first into the psych-rock abyss and sees the lads steadily groove their way through an ocean of echo and wahtar with relative ease. Flip it things progress as you'd expect with 'Sun', a drowsy groove reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and early Ride. The chorus riff is alarmingly familiar but I can't quite put my finger on where I've heard it before. So, to summarise, I've heard these songs before but they still sound good played by French hippy kids.

The Dalaï lama rama fa fa fa are a bunch of young parisians in their early twenties that are maybe the next big thing on the french psychedelic scene.

Inspired by such acts as The Brian Jonestown massacre, Spacemen 3 or the Warlocks, they managed to transcend their influences to develop their own sound and ideas, as can also be seen on their (super cool) videos or artworks, all diy made

The music is hypnotic, full of pretty well worked guitars with reverb and wah wah, with repetitive sections backed by a powerful voice.

The single is limited to 350 copies
