Crashing Diseases And Incurable Airplanes<\/a> (2014) by USA Out Of Vietnam. Artwork by Amy Torok.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy Torok’s cover art for the debut album<\/a> by Canadian band USA Out Of Vietnam is pleasingly reminiscent of the surreal and psychedelic collages of Wilfried S\u00e4tty<\/a>. The music within has been described as “a cross between ELO and Sunn O)))” which it is up to a point, although to these ears the group are more in the Sunn O))) camp than the post-Beatles pop of Jeff Lynne and co. The sound is big whatever label you apply, and promises much for the future.<\/p>\n
