Roy returns with stories of alien enlightenment, but with tales of personal vision. We now know the man behind Roy is Patrick Lefler, a psychedelic scholar whose deep musical knowledge is run through a panoply of archaic and homespun devices to create the sound of Roy. Welcome to <i>Roy’s Garage</i>, where both wow and flutter rule and all must observe the law of diminishing track widths. The LP’s side A opens with In The Garden Defeated, a sly nod to one of the sixties most renowned singles and what follows is a succession of 8 quick hits of succinct psych pop, ranging from the cold fact garage stomp of Let Me Tell Ya to the Wilson-esque pocket symphony of Where Did MyMind Go? Side B offers a more expansive vision within the Roy universe with its sprawling modal jams filled with free fuzz riffing and cascading acoustic leads, all culminating in the sage advice of a knowing guide in album closer As Long As You’re Feeling. Projecting forth from his mind’s eye, Roy declares he is “not afraid to be a freak” and “it’s time to love myself” and in doing so Roy’s Garage acts brother and sister no doubt peer through time and space smiling.
