Arcadium

This obscure psychedelic band issued one rare album, Breathe Awhile, in 1969 that’s quite definitely in the downer-heavy school from the genre. The group’s prominent amount was its songwriter and lead vocalist, 12-string guitarist Miguel Sergides. The ominous, noisy, cathedral-like body organ; distorted electric guitar; and anguished vocals took affects from famous brands the Doorways, Iron Butterfly, and Vanilla Fudge, although some SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA psychedelia could possibly be noticed in the bittersweet harmonies. The music group wasn’t as distinct as its factors of evaluation, though, as well as the disposition of unhappy torture wasn’t various very much, melodically or lyrically, during the period of the record. It had been reissued on Compact disc by Akarma in 2003.
