British garage psych outfit The Higher State are back with their new (sixth) full-length Internecine Free, following up 2016’s successful Volume 27 LP (which was actually their fifth studio album). The current line-up – Marty Ratcliffe, Paul Messis, Huw Walters, Ali Norton and Gijs de Jong – are single-handedly rebuilding the sound of the ’60s, and they’re doing it well. In twelve original, fuzz-laden songs they tick all the boxes, from jangly guitars and mood-enhancing harmonica to weathered vocals, on-target drums and yearning Farfisa melodies. Danceable and intoxicating.

Internecine Free, produced & engineered by Marty Ratcliffe, is out now digitally and on vinyl LP 13 O’ Clock Records.
