The Socks – “The Socks” [SoundCloud Album Stream]

The Skinny: In celebration of its official release tomorrow and following previous teasers from Cvlt Nation, The Obelisk and Heavy Planet, today Decibel Magazine is streaming the self-titled full-length from French psychedelic fuzz rock rippers, The Socks, in its entirety! Check out the full album via the SoundCloud stream just below.

Comments Decibel, “Miss those Summer road trip days? Of course you do. It’s March. Weather’s an unpredictable bitch and the likelihood of something cool happening is pretty much nil. Well, France-based The Socks are an unlikely candidate to warm up your otherwise shitty Spring. Now, you’re probably thinking: France + good ‘ol hard rock = yeah right. Turns out the Lyonnaise toe-tappers aren’t weirdos or bent on throwing ‘haute rocke’ down their noses to the vox populi. Nope. They’re just straight-up, no-frills, jean-jacketed, rubber-burning’ rockers.”

Adds the band: “The sound and identity of the band have been shaped through the years to become this psychedelic hard rock, meant to be played live. We’ve recorded all together in a room with analog tapes to focus on the energy and to make it sound real and raw. Now it’s time to take it with us on the road and share it with everyone!”
