Released in July 2011 after their acclaimed debut Sunflower Session (2007), The Red Plastic Buddha emerged onto Chicago’s psychedelic underground scene in 2005. Although they have varied their original line-up, the band has infused diverse sounds with the addition of the sitar on the track, Waves and haunting violin melodies on the melancholy Sad Girl. Their sound draws from groups like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The anticipated follow up release from The Red Plastic Buddha is a treat for your musical palette. It is rich with psychedelic pop sounds and peppered with influences from late 60’s British psychedelia. Released under their label, Space Cat Records, the 12- track All Out Revolution offers up vocal melodies reminiscent of hippy revivalism on tracks like Daisy Love and alternates to heavier punk style tunes like Army of the New Tomorrow.
All Out Revolution is a respectable effort layered with past and present psychedelic intonations that are sure to please while weaving colorful reflections of those who have influenced them from the past.
