Grave Flowers Bongo Band
Cover a Psych-Rock Classic

Grave Flowers Bongo Band have shared the latest single from their Ty Segall-produced album Strength of Spring (Castle Face Records, April 30th). Wailing its way across your speakers in a VHS-style Slim Reaper video, “Down Man” is actually a nod to the gnarly debut of Amsterdam’s own prog, blues, and psych architects Brainbox.

Here’s what singer Gabe Flores had to say about it, along with a look at the entire LP and a previously shared clip for the slightly more subdued number “Smile”….

We tried to Funkadelitize this one. Channeling ‘Maggot Brain’ energy to this classic song by Dutch psych-rock royalty Brainbox! Originally released in 1969, we had to pay homage this this acoustic rock banger that was influential to our style.
