The Sufis

"the garages of east nashville are now american rock's hottest property" says the guardian march 2012, and the sufis are amongst the cream of the crop of the new psych / garage influenced tennessee scene. the sufis are an incredible baroque psych group led by local sound pioneer and aural investigator, calvin laporte. their album was so instant, that ample play (the label of corner shop) knew instantly they had to put it out. it's incredibly adventurous and memorable. they record using old analogue recording equipment and effects, some of which they have rebuilt from scratch. the musicianship on the record is stunning.
