Heavy Psychedelic

LINK

"Only release from obscure U.S. heavy psycho blues band Heavy Balloon. Heavy Balloon was not really a band in itself, but a gathering of musicians. One song is titled "Lead Zeppalin" (not to confuse the name with "Led Zeppelin"). But it's more diverse than you would expect with violin, piano and ocassional female vocalist. More of a collective than an actual band". DW
