Having already unleashed its usual barrage of fuzz-and-buzz guitars and organs, the sextet goes all in and recreates the wobbly electric-jug sound of the 13th Floor Elevators, a fellow Austin band that invented psychedelic punk some 40 years ago. Not content to reference one classic garage band, the Angels add to that same song some vintage Vox organ, the kind used by Question Mark and the Mysterians. The result is one of the lighter tunes on a record specked with bubblegum innocence and <em>Easy Rider<\/em> menace. Blatantly nostalgic but thrilling all the same, <em>Phosphene Dream<\/em> has it all: good trips (\u201cYellow Elevator #2\u201d), bad trips (\u201cRiver of Blood\u201d) and road trips (\u201cEntrance Song\u201d).
