Los Angeles-based neo-psych sorcerer Morgan Delt first appeared in early 2013 with a limited-edition demo-length cassette release titled Psychic Death Hole. The six songs on this bite-sized album brought to light all the demonic psychedelic force of early Pink Floyd and the druggy jangle of any number of '60s acid-tripping jangle rock bands meeting with the more jagged edges of Thee Oh Sees' most brutal home-recorded rock tracks. The limited 7" Barbarian Kings b/w Black Tuna Gang followed the cassette release, and in early 2014, Delt released a self-titled album for Trouble in Mind. He then signed with Sub Pop and retreated to his home studio to begin work on album number two. Recorded entirely by Delt himself, then mastered by the very busy J.J. Golden, the even more trippy, more psyched-up Phase Zero was released in August of 2016. ~ Fred Thomas
