I’ll be honest. I’m not 100% sure what to say about the latest CD from California psychedelic folk act, Vanish Valley. I suppose the term “psychedelic folk” says plenty and I do think it’s rather accurate in this case. The one thing I would add, however, is that I feel like that term gives the impression that this is an abstract work, and therefore, perhaps a tad inaccessible. I find that to be quite the contrary, to reality, however. While there are many types of “California Music”, this record really makes me wish I was stumbling around the various valleys and canyons of SoCal, for some reason. It’s like and audio-hallucinogenic.
