ZERFAS

Zerfas were a psychedelic rock band from Indianapolis, formed by the brothers Dave and Brian Zerfas. At the beggining, the band was called Jubal, but the other members has left the party, so the Zerfas brothers finally had a chance to record their material in 1973. This obscure one shot is totally apart from the knowledge of the masses. At the very first minutes of the album, you will find just another acid blues rock band with some psychedelia touch, drowned in a dated pool from the 60s. But they are not! The highlight of the album is the experimentalism, especially talking about the keyboards and strange effects. The tracks aren't lenghty at all. Running time from 3-7 minutes, eight tracks and total playing of 40 minutes. Zerfas never reached anything before a collection of psychedelic rock in the early 2000s, featuring their track I Need it Higher. This probably broke their limited access chains, and the album was re-released (unauthorized) by the Radioactive Records in a high quality vynil. The album has some heavy and great passages, but some uninspired pedestrian rock riffs too. My favorite is the annoying trippy progressive third track, I Don't Understand. Weird track, sick experimental intro. A good choice if old school psychedelic rock is what you are searching for.
