damn shocked to see someone reacting to this band, they started in 1966 and were part of the psychedelic scene but then later moved on to the post-punk scene in the late 70s, their second album sounds more akin to post-punk even though it came out in 1968. The "sonic boom remaster" is just a remaster of their 1967 album made by one of the guitarists in Spacemen 3 who were big fans of the band. It's a confusing discog to go through, all their albums used to be on spotify but they got removed, they changed their name because of a lawsuit by crayola, so there's "Red Crayola" and "Red Krayola" on different spotify pages. The comparisons to Beefheart or krautrock like CAN is interesting because these guys predated that stuff. They were very ahead of the times. I highly recommend listening to "Corky's Debt to His Father", the solo album of the lead singer, it was influential to Neutral Milk Hotel and is the most "normal" sounding record he ever did. If you want to hear weird stuff they made listen to their first album "Parable of Arable Land" it's half somewhat normal songs and half noise and sound collage pieces.
@kelechi_77 thank you do much for the info on the " Sonic Boom " the Red Krayola thing was pretty confusing to me, so that is cleared up😂 thanks. I will def check them out and react to them for another Weird Music Wednesday. Thank u so much
Beefheart was concurrent with the Red Crayola. Remember Beefheart and His Magic Band formed in the mid-1960’s, and their first album was released the same year as Red Crayola’s first album. But yeah, all good stuff.
@@psychedelicpiper999 Red Crayola debuted their first album before Beefheart, they still predated him. And yeah Beefheart had a few singles in 1966, but they sound nothing like his later avant-rock stuff.
@@psychedelicpiper999 Still Beefheart on his first album hadn't gone into real avant-garde territory outside of Electricity and the closing track, still think Red Crayola predated his efforts on Trout Mask and Strictly Personal.

@@kelechi_77 They both released their first album in June 1967. I don’t know the exact day, but this seems to be splitting hairs.
