In 1963, renowned chemists Bear Owsley & Nick Sands developed a strain of designer LSD which had a reputation for inducing tribal hallucinations. This strain of acid was called "west Indian girl." Flash forward forty-some years & however many psychedelic revolutions later to find the Los Angeles duo of Robert James & Francis Ten deciding to call their musical collaboration "West Indian Girl." West Indian Girl's luminous debut release is a perfect slice of sun-soaked California dreampop, filtering the hazy shoegazing sounds of yesteryear through a distinctly west coast sensibility. Songs like "Hollywood" & "What Are You Afraid Of" gently flourish like the doves & the Stone Roses by way of Laurel Canyon.
