Planet Rye Co
Planet Rye Co’s main incarnation, The Alice Rose, plays power-pop that frequently calls to mind The Beatles and Squeeze—but there’s usually something sinister lurking just below the surface of those bright harmonies and chiming Rickenbacker riffs. The psychedelic sounds of Planet Rye Co foreground those ominous underpinnings, slathering them in reverb and goopy Halloween makeup. Attentive to acid-era period details without losing any sense of fun (and invested in driving its personal Doom Buggy while also writing worthwhile songs), on October 1, the band releases its debut LP, Salem Songs.
