Makiah - God Of Aud b/w Big Rhyder
Original 1971 45 RPM single
Lybra – LR 7103 (Discogs)
~ThePoodleBites rip in 96kHz / 24bit FLAC + full hi-res scans~
I haven't been able to uncover any information yet about Makiah. Apparently they were a band from Los Angeles, California that recorded only this one private single around 1970-1971. Listening to the music, one hears vocal echoes of The Doors, who a couple years beforehand were regulars on the L.A. scene, but also UK influences in the Revolver-esque tape reverb that makes your head swim ("Big Rhyder"). Overall there's fantastic guitar playing, trippy flute, convincing vocals, and creative songwriting which contribute to a strange adrenaline-fueled psychedelic storm.
Thanks to C.F. for lending this ethereal 45 out for a proper restoration project!
