intodown – Blues-Fuelled Psychedelic Rocketeers

“…  like Pink Floyd and Miles Davis jamming at a 13th Floor Elevator’s party …”

Mixing a variety of styles including the blues and elements of psychedelia into one progressive rock melting pot, intodown paint musical soundscapes that bring to mind early Pink Floyd, post-Dark Side of the Moon Floyd and the 13th Floor Elevators in varying degrees.

With frontman and guitar-warlock Michael Clark – who looks like the ringmaster at the Devil’s own rock ‘n’ roll circus – citing the likes of Peter Green, Mayall and Cream era Eric Clapton and the psychedelic gypsy himself, Jimi Hendrix, as chief amongst his influences, they bang out the sort of music that gets the HFoS seal of approval.

intodown have an album out, Brave New World, available through their website, and a taster of their style can be sampled on the intodown MySpace page. ‘Sonic Voyage 3′ in particular has that early Floyd sound, reminiscent of ‘Interstellar Overdrive’ from Piper at the Gates of Dawn, whereas other tracks sometimes dabble with a more Gilmouresque sound.

If largely instrumental freakouts be your thing, then you could do a lot worse than lending your ears to the eclectic sounds of intodown, “the 60’s band from the future.”
