Chequered!

Chubby Checker

A startling 1971 pivot into heavy psychedelic blues. Gritty guitars and raw vocals replace the dance-floor polish of the sixties.

It's the guy who did 'The Twist' making a heavy psych-rock record in a basement, and it's actually good.

A heavy, disillusioned comedown from the sixties dance floor into the psychedelic basement.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring shift from pop expectations to the heavy, distorted guitar riff that anchors 'Stoned in the Bathroom'.
The raw, unpolished vocal delivery on 'He Died' that feels miles away from the polished 'Twist' era.
The swirling, psychedelic organ solo in 'My Mind' that creates a genuine sense of mental disorientation.
