sic alps: new videos!!!

Drag City has launched two new videos by Sic Alps for their forthcoming album Napa Asylum. Sic Alps from San Francisco is Mike Donovan, Matthew Hartman and now Noel Harmonson (who played with Comets of Fire). Their music is a great mix of psychedelic, noise and some kind of pop. I first discovered them few years ago through the Animal Disguise label (home of Mammal) who released "Pleasures & Treasures". Think about Syd Barrett, Velvet Underground but noisier and you'll almost get it.
