A Moment to Pray (Sound Effect, SER 014)
Yesterday's Thoughts third album A
Moment to Pray is here! Screaming farfisa and soul arousing vocals powered by Dimitris Megedisidis, totally 60s sounding, brain melting stellar guitar performed by Spyros Megedisidis, plus the time bending, playful rhythm section of Lefteris Galanis on bass & Giorgos Vagiatlakis on drums. After being around for twelve years they decided to lock themselves in the comfort of their own studio along with Sound Effect Records vintage analogue recording gear for two years! Tracks

Review from FuzzOverdose.com : The Yesterday's Thoughts third album, is dedicated to their departed friend, mentor and associate, Sky Sunlight Saxon, and while being physically away, his spirit continues to haunt the tracks of this record. The title A Moment To Pray, taken from a line of their gospel psych waltz gem Fallin', sets the tone for the musical and lyrical themes of this record. There's not a fleck of colour to be found on the moody artwork, a motif that continues onto to the grooves, and the listeners should embrace themselves for a brooding, bad acid trip into lysergia. Having no deadlines or any kind of restriction helped them to push the equipment’s and own abilities to the extreme epitomizing garage punk and psychedelic music from the 60’s to the 00’s. Under the given conditions they’ve breathed life to these sessions by managing to capture fragments of their moody yet powerful soul and transfer them into this album’s 17 original compositions. This time around more esoteric, psychedelic and Boston tingled, pointing further out their already acknowledged unique blend of 60’s influenced garage and psychedelic music. More focused and mature than ever, efficient to lay the path for your trips into their distinctive sound they’re offering to us their best album so far. Imagine a tasty blend of the Seeds with Outta Place or Head & the Hares fuzzin’ it’s way to the center of your soul with wild performance and well crafted melodies. Always psychedelic but never noodling, the Yesterday's Thoughts
offer us 17 of their own compositions, full of minor key excursions from
the omipresent Farfisa organ, harsh vocals, and every shade of fuzz
known to man. Straying from the usual Garage Punk lyrical route, these songs are about personal matters, the tone being sombre and verging to desperate. Having built their own analogue basement studio, the Yesterday's Thoughts had the opportunity to painstakingly craft this album and to hone their recording skills, creating a faithfully pure 60's affair. Not for the faint hearted, if you are looking for easy kicks you should steer away, but those of you searching for a late night companion, the Yesterday's Thoughts' third and probably best album will surely become your friend and stay near your record player for years to come.
Beware this is not your typical moody band !
