about

Underpop Records USA is pleased to announce the 7th full-length album from long-running underground San Francisco psych-rock favorites THE SOCIETY OF ROCKETS—the band that NPR, the Guardian, and Pitchfork have said evolves the notion of modern psychedelic music—with a 20+ year history navigating a changing music industry on their own terms - never touring, self-releasing a deep, stylistically wide-ranging discography, and maintaining an aesthetic that blurs the lines between futurism and archaeology. "Unearthed" follows the country and folk-indebted trajectory of previous album "Family Ways", expanding on its hazy, sepia-toned explorations of Neil Young, Pavement, and Father John Misty, with detours into the softer side of Led Zeppelin and the gnarled electric guitar wranglings of Courtney Barnett.

Reviews for Unearthed

"There are standouts all over the record. ‘Calico’ has a delightful California feel to it, neat chord structures, the theremin, and great harmonies (the song has a charming video, reviewed by AUK recently – here) This contrasts with the marvellously named ‘Bummertown’, which is rockier, and where there is an awful lot going on, including a regularly appearing and welcome dirty guitar. ‘Witch Trials Revisited’ has an interesting psychedelic second half before gently trundling to a finish, and ‘Open Season’ has electric piano, accordion, guitars, over quite a dark lyric, with a slow but certainly not depressing vibe. The album closes superbly with ‘Error Era’, with a simple keyboard, guitar and vocal opening verse, before changing pace and style, like something from a bygone era, all nicely moody, which builds and then collapses just about perfectly." - Americana UK

"Bandleader Joshua Babcock's lyrics centre on frustrations and fragmentations on tracks such as "Witch Trials Revistied" and "Failure Industry", the latter also containing some fine theremin work. There are softer moments too - "Calico" has echoes of Big Star's "Watch The Sunrise", "Little Lion" is a folksy number with mandolin that would sit nicely on Led Zepellin III and "Error Era" is a delighfulyy soft landing for an album that puts many a higher profile release in the shade." Shindig - Duncan Fletcher

"San Francisco's The Society Of Rockets have always felt like a well kept secret. Seven albums in and the band have evolved. Initially known for some fine Psych Rock, their last album, Family Ways, marked a move into a more laid back sound.

Family Ways was a much more laid back affair, excellent in its way, but a bit hard to quantify with what had gone before. The playing was as great as ever, as were the hooks, but the Country Rock was definitely a new path." - I Don't Hear A Single
