Gypsy Treasures is a psychedelic rock/psych-folk/drone band from California, whose album ''Buried Goods'' was released a few years ago by Not Not Fun Records. The album packs a fascinating mixture of psychedelia and psychedelic folk in a drone covered experimental coating.
The first track on the album is titled ''Stray Dogs Of Wroclaw'', and it essentially packs a relatively slow repetitive bassline and folky drums along with some experimental semi-improvisational guitars that have both an echo-laden and a noisy Japanese underground psych side to them. The track also has a somewhat mystical Eastern vibe to it throughout. ''Four Horsemen (live)'' on the other hand packs a somewhat similar structure, but in a much more noisy and less refined way, with the guitars packing sufficient amounts of distortion laden noise. The third track ''Tadpole Walks Home'' moves to a somewhat less abrasive realm, and packs some dreamy yet murky experimental psychedelia. The last track on the album is titled ''Of Moorish Towns'' and this one pretty much resembled the title pretty well. The track has a somewhat surreal Eastern vibe to it once again, and one can surely imagine images of a Moorish city from the eyes of a hashish plagued mind when listening to this.
All in all ''Buried Goods'' is a pretty fascinating album from start to finish, and has a pretty unique surreal vibe to it. At times bringing about images of Cannibal Holocaust mixed with Holy Mountain to mind.
