I can't swim. But I like ice cream and I adore The Doctor and Philip. Their brand of Ptolemaic Terrascopic psychedelia (think The Red Krayola or Wooden Wand) is just what the doctor ordered. Billy Kekevian and Zach Sulat's gently picked acoustic guitars lead into a musty electric vibrato, giving their six-string sound a sort of pastoral noir. That is until those guitars fuzz feedback and oozingly lose themselves through softly scattered rhythms and dub FX. That's when the dark takes over. The gorgeous ghoulishness of their eerie, sensual first CD, Are Making Progress on Their Whole Spider Thing, sets the pace for their devilish new EP, Horsenake and Others. Led by the 25-minute, live-at-the-Rotunda-recorded title track, the EP is a lovely, shaky, low-country instrumental epic full of tiny harmonies and mumbled tales of ordinary madness. I scream and you'll scream too.
