Smudge by The Troubled Times

Tracks 1-9 come from a weird chaotic mid-winter session in Antony's lounge, July 2025. It was too cold that day to head out to the garage, so instead we made 'lounge music'.

Keyboards and synths played through the stereo, electronic drums (plus a single tom), guitars through tiny practice amps. Everybody playing a bit of everything. All in all, a cathartic if somewhat psychotropic celebration of smalltown shelter. A followup to last year's indoor album https://thetroubledtimes.bandcamp.com/album/the-latest-poll

Tracks 10-12 actually come from one of our very first trio sessions, in July 2022. A totally different vibe, and perhaps more musical (though the attempt at singing together in harmony on the last track was an abject failure). It has a certain charm however..

2020s psychedelic garage rock from the Wairarapa underground:

Antony Milton (guitar/keyboards/vocs), Dave Edwards (bass/guitar/clarinet/), David Heath (drums)
