Refreshing Trance Psychedelia from Sky Cries Mary

Sky Cries Mary – Secrets of a Red Planet (Trail Records, 2020)

One of the most fascinating psychedelic progressive rock bands in the USA, Sky Cries Mary has reformed and has released a superb new album titled Secrets of a Red Planet.

The group plays a mesmerizing form of psychedelic music with trancelike rhythms, outstanding dual psychedelic guitars and trippy electronics plus the vocals of band co-founder Roderick Wolgamott (Roderick Wolgamott Romero). The male vocals remind me a lot of Jim Morrison. Picture a 21st century version of The Doors gone progressive.

The lineup on the album includes Roderick Wolgamott on lead vocals; Ben Ireland on drums, percussion, keyboards, synthesizers, and electronic effects; Jack Endino on guitars and drums; Kevin Whitworthon guitars; Curt Eckman on bass and Moog; and Debra Reese on vocals, synthesizer, and tambo.
