You may have noticed that this week’s MP3 Monday is a little more of an MP3 Wednesday. Our sincerest apologies! (And if you didn’t notice, forget we said anything)
This track comes from local psych rockers Habatat. “Gold” is a soulful rocker off the band’s self-titled album, which dropped today. Take a listen below, and look for the band at Howlers Coyote Cafe on March 24th.

Thanks to Tim Wood, an old friend in our industry, for suggesting that I listen to this cut. I really like it and hope to hear more from this young band. Shades of 60’s psychedelic nation, with textures with just the right amount of reverb to start you swaying, closing your eyes so the chords drape over you bringing you to another layer melodic appreciation. I can picture this is what The Doors would sound like today. Keep it coming, guys!
