Perth, Australia's Andrew Sinclair plays the role of shaman in "Ritual Beat / Stolen Drums," a mystical jam from his recently self-released album, Evil Summer. A wave of distortion sets the scene before a primal, heavy exhalation initiates the ceremony: a manic drum circle intertwining with Sinclair's quivering incantations and mesmerizing synth mantras. He injects the groovy momentum of Afrobeat into the dubbed-out psychedelia of Sun Araw, taking us on a rewarding spiritual journey in the process. --Matt Sullivan, International Tapes
