about

"Like a daffodil becoming or a cocooned caterpillar experiencing its eventual beautiful final blossom, Pure Intention has these similar transcendental journey like qualities. The vulnerability & helplessness of the opening track transitioning into a warped kraut explosion showcases the dynamic experiences of existentialism, which is such a dominant trend on this shape-shifting debut full-length from five-piece psychedelic romantics The Twistees.

This Perfect Prescription-like method allows the group to showcase their strong song-writing capabilities along with creating the sense that there are a vast array of influences at play here. It gives the listener a non-stop journey of cathartic thrills & calamitous spills of sensitivity. This is perhaps best displayed on the transitioning centre piece ‘Free Will’. It relentlessly builds & morphs from a …Floating In Space beginning into what sounds like a rendition of Sister Ray at the Boston Tea Party.
Not content with singular moods, ‘Can’t Get Out Of Here’ & ‘Pattern’ dive into straight down the line proto-psych grooves & memorable hooks that excite & expand with every movement whilst evoking hat-tips to CAN or Lorelle Meets The Obsolete.

There’s so much feel, Fender & Farfisa condensed into one beautiful piece. Pure Intention is perhaps the quintessential depiction of a clarity-loss that occurs on the journey to self-discovery when love & debauchery are thrown into the mix. Any appreciator of sensitivity, wonderful synchronicity in musicianship or just very good music will appreciate this enthralling & unexpected debut record." - PHASE2

The Twistees might be the only proper psychedelic group in Melbourne these days. Last year they burst onto the scene with a single followed closely by their debut LP Pure Intention, launched at the Retreat together with our new favourites Romero. Despite not receiving a lot of attention, this album commands it upon hearing it. Like their friends in Super-X, they’re a bit obsessed with Spacemen 3 (check out “Drone Alone”), but they’re also not afraid to go full ’67 (like the Golden Dawn-flavoured “Can’t Get Out of Here”). - Record Turnover
