Superpitcher’s third full-length studio album, The Golden Ravedays, is a one-sound autobiography that shows the skill, feeling and style he has honed over twenty years in music and more than forty emotionally. It runs to 24 tracks, released from January 2017 across twelve chapter records on Hippie Dance over the course of a year. Where chapter eight took us to outer space, number nine goes underwater, with two tracks that celebrate all that is good and all that is sad.
Hiding on the A-side is galloping sea horses pulling a Christmas chariot filled with dreams-come-true past enchanting mermaids, smiling sharks, waving tortoises and nonplussed eels, leaving a blanket of mystical sound in their wake. It stretches and breaks into many layers of listening love without enforcing any one sound, with the voice of Titaua drifting through. Flying on the flip is built around a subaquatic melody coloured by whale sounds and the echoes of immersed guitar strings, not about complex development but about the weightless drifting of sounds, a hazy cloud to lose yourself in and fly, deliciously, with the dolphins. It doesn’t serve up a specific feeling and leaves the listener to feel whatever comes up. The ending is speckled with whimsical showers of chimes, paving the way for the softest of landings. For many collectors, the pick of the series, and one to make your next psychedelic listening session memorable.
