  1. 7.7 |   Bowlegs

    It’s a record that deserves to be heard – and sounds like it was conceived – at the height of summer

  2. 7.0 |   NME

    Like albums by other psychedelic dreamers Ariel Pink and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, ‘The Bardo Story’ sounds like a collection of rediscovered ’60s and ’70s gems uploaded to YouTube

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    There may be a bunch of bands traveling the same psychedelic back roads as Salvia Plath, but Collins and company ride with style

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Do you like drugs? Well, me too. So, sit down over there and take a rip of Baltimore’s Salvia Plath

    A strange and pleasing foray into pop music history

  6. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    A low rent imitation of Surrealism housing a collection of scuzzy sub-psych songs, all of which probably sounded like a great idea when conceptualized through a billow of weed smoke. Fortunately, it still sounds pretty good when the fog clears

  7. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    An appealing shot of homespun psychedelia. With a producer, maybe Collins could be great. Or maybe it’d ruin him. I’m not sure

Latest Reviews

Julien Baker & Torres  Send A Prayer My Way

The singer-songwriters’ first collaborative album together is a sugary take on a long-worn country template. The stories they sing are necessary, even when the music plays it safe Paste Magazine

Sunflower Bean  Mortal Primetime

Mortal Primetime is the sound of a band still standing, but unsure of which way to go next Spectrum Culture

Femi Kuti  Journey Through Life

A socially conscious, politically engaged and highly critical album from the son of the legendary bandleader carries on the legacy of his family while working toward a better future Spectrum Culture
