Science fiction makes us believe time machines are long overdue. It’s 2011 and the only thing that’s come true is seeing someone you’re talking to over the phone, thanks Skype. But when sci-fi fails to transport you back in time, you can rely on music. The Larch’s Larix Americana will remind you of Jefferson Airplane, a psychedelic melodic trip. All the while songs like “Inside Hugh” will allow you to bob your head along while “With Love from Region One” guides you to a serene place of mind. Fans of BLUR and XTC should take some time out of the present to take a step into the past with The Larch and their Larix Americana.
