A bit left-field for fans of basement garage and psych, but “Up From The Sewers” should appeal to anyone with an ear for anarchic yet well-executed early ‘70s singer songwriter sounds. It’s an appealing sound with a fully electric folk-rock setting, strong vocals, fine arrangements and ambitious lyrics. YES!!!! Time for some sewer rock… “This crudely packaged underground album contains a pro-level mix of urban Dylan & Zappa inspired counterculture and rootsy Dead ’70 rural moves. There are 2 versions of this jacket, this is the rarer version of the two depicting the rose as opposed to the fist one which surfaces more frequently. Original US private press LP housed in a silk-screened cover that comes complete with always missing insert.

In all a fantastic brain-melting disc just like all the other Yahowa 13 related recordings. Soaring distorted guitar, funk-rock piano and organ, female backing vocals, and odd dabs of miscellany set the instrumental mood against which you can erect your own private little sect. The LP is split up into two sidelong tracks built up around extemporaneous sermons carried by improvised late-period psychedelic rock-outs that resonate to the rhythms of your own inner brain waves and tapping right into your endorphine reserves. Like many of their homebrew recordings, this one is also somewhat of an amateur effort spiked up with subliminal acidic recognition-flashes of tribal jams your ancestors might have cave-dwelled to. The first album by this sectarian collective lead by Father Yod – who would rename the group as Yahowa 13 later on. Original 1972 US pressing of spaced out acid psych classic.
