DIRTY SOUND MAGNET

Swiss psychedelic trio Dirty Sound Magnet have created a unique racket that's both thrillingly expansive and potently evocative.

On their fourth album Dreaming In Dystopia, they combine the sonic directness of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors with the leftfield innovation typified by Frank Zappa.

"I know it sounds old-fashioned but creative liberty in the '60s and '70s made music so rich and powerful," says guitarist/ singer Stavros Dzodzos. "We try to keep our music organic, and that's why people might call it 'vintage'. We're not trying to create a big wall of noise with loads of compression and processing. It's a matter of taste."
