After a full-length album and a 12" mini-album, Munich's Royal Flares have finally arrived at the format that represents '60s garage punk more than any other: the vinyl single. The Flares aren't holding back, delivering a banger on every single side. Guaranteed danceable shit for any garage party, whether in the living room or at the club.
“Time Is A Tale” is a fast-paced psych-folk rocker with a razor-sharp riff and cool melody that exposes time as a fairy tale told to us by clocks, with a guitar break that makes the hands in your head swirl and your feet hit the dance floor.
"Tell Me Something" is an uncompromising journey down a one-way street, no right, no left, just full throttle straight ahead into 1966. What was that time again? Ah yes, exactly, it's a fairytale.
The Royal Flares themselves replace the clock hands on the front cover of their new single. On the back, they join, quite "royally," King Ludwig II, their hometown's most psychedelic visionary to date. Time is a tale.
After a long player and a mini-album on 12" the Royal Flares from Munich finally arrived at the format more representative of 60s garage punk than any other: the 45 single. The Royal Flares don't hesitate to put a grenade on each side. Guaranteed to catapult your feet on any garage dance floor, be it living room or night club.
“Time Is A Tale” is an up-tempo psych-folk-rocker with a razor-sharp riff and cool melody, unmasking time as a fairy tale told by clocks, with a guitar-break causing the clock hands to whirl in the head and the soles on the floor.
“Tell Me Something” uncompromisingly races through a one way street, no right, no left, just straight ahead full throttle into 1966. What again was time? Ah, yes, right, a fairy tale.
The Royal Flares themselves replace the clock hands on the cover of their 45, and on the back cover, very “royal”, they join King Ludwig II, the hitherto most psychedelic visionary of their hometown. Time is a tale.
