One of the Holy Grails of heavy psychedelia, originally released in 1969 by this Canadian band.
Basement garage-psych meets heavy rock! Echoing vocals, crashing drums, ultra-raw distorted guitar…
Bent Wind formed in Toronto in 1969. Discovered by producer Merv Buchanan while they played at a 12 hour Pop Festival in York, he signed them to his Trend label. A single was soon released, followed by the “Sussex” album in 1969. Titled after the street where the band had a rehearsal space in a building where local hippies and freaks hang out, “Sussex” was released housed in a cover designed by guitar player Gerry Ribas. According to band member Marty Roth, no more than 200 copies were pressed, making one the most sought after psych albums ever.
