Troyka

The past due 1960s and early 1970s were a period when some mighty odd, uncommercial, half-baked records emerged on big brands. One of these was Troyka’s little-heard, self-titled 1970 LP for Cotillion, which mixes natural blues-rock with unusual mixtures of psychedelia and middle eastern music and tempos. It sounded similar to a low-rent Moms of Invention, even though it wasn’t simple to inform if the music artists were entirely seriously interested in their weirdness, or if this is something of the quickly thrown-together exploitation from the stranger areas of the psychedelic underground.
