The Ar-Kaics are back with a double shot of their endangered mode of recreational expression / rebellion, and doing it just for Kaics! Recorded at Daptone amid the gloom and decay of the day, 'To Be Free' b/w 'Easy' showcase the band's primitive garage sound in two nasty flights of fancy. Wash it down with the fun punch straight from the bowl, and listen for the proto-psych and outright punk nonsense a-brewing. With a new drummer in tow, free & easy is the rally cry for their new lease on psych. Communion for heads and seekers alike!
