There’s something very cool simmering to the surface in the Montreal underground music scene that I think Third Eye readers will enjoy. Pangea De Futura is a mega-jam collective comprised of many Montreal scene veterans. They describe themselves as a wide range of tectonic plates crashing together, making the world stop for a second and ripping these continents apart. It’s an epic description worthy of their music. It’s an octet supergroup led by Eric Quach, a seasoned musician, and includes three drummers, guitar, synth, and brass players, all of whom are also involved in other Montreal-base ..read more

Drew’s music is a canvas tha ..read more

The Third Eye is proud to present the spacey Australians’ new single, “Orbs of Light,” which will drop on all streaming platforms tomorrow.

The record will be released on March 20th via Spinda Records. EFS comprises five French musicians who shaped their modern psychedelic space rock sound by merging krautrock influences, Hawkwind’s hypnotic patterns, and tripping guitar riffs recalling the Brian Jonestown Massacre. The band carves a heady vibe through fuzz-driven overloads, ethereal vocal effects melted into long tape echo feedb ..read more

IN SPACE will be a high-concept surf record, serving as the soundtrack to an epic space opera. The album borrows themes and textures from mid-century science fiction and superimposes them onto modern surf rock. While most bands of the style only use guitar, bass, and drums, The Hamiltones dare to utilize layers of vocals, lush strings, horns, space ..read more
