Review

Far Out's 7" series enters the dark heart of London with Custom Blue's "Under The Counter" & "You're On Your Own" a heady prescription of downbeat psychedelia and vintage folk perfect for those of you suffering from a case of the 21st century blues. Custom Blue are Alex Pilkington & Simon Shippey & their debut album "All Follow Everyone" was released to great acclaim on Ross Allen's Island Blue imprint in 2002. This is their first new release since then and "You're On Your Own" has been produced by Mark "Troubleman" Pritchard. With it's swirling guitars, hazy drums, haunting vocals and throbbing bass line (courtesy of Chris from the Bays), "Under The Counter" is a sonic fix of psychedelic heads-down dub guaranteed to keep all you drugstore cowboys shuffling into the small hours. If "Under The Counter" is late Saturday night business then flip the record and you get the Sunday morning comedown in the shape of "You're On Your Own". Produced by Mark Pritchard, it's a hauntingly beautiful yet claustrophobic, stripped down vintage sounding folk cut.
