The New Creation - Troubled

 The New Creation was born in 1970 when Chris Towers, an unknown guitarist from Vancouver, decided to form a Christian rock group with Lorna Towers as lead singer and Janet Tiessen on drums. Scared by reports of the hippie excesses of the Manson/Altamont era, Lorna Towers wrote doom-laden, apocalyptic lyrics for the New Creation's aptly titled album, Troubled. The band was unpolished, yet somehow captured a unique lo-fi sound comparable to a hybrid of the Velvet Underground and the Shaggs.

60’s Garage Godcore? Yet it transcends being a mere period piece. The band’s songwriting is deliriously brilliant, their lyrical perspective haunting. The band’s sincerity is unquestionable, even if its meters are unfathomable. Fearful Christian kids worrying about drugs and Manson Cults looming, singing songs about it. Its really beatiful. This album was thought to be lost in the mist of times, it has quite a nice feel to it songs like "The Cherry Blossoms" and The Shaggs got together and had sex in a pyschadelic garage, and left the re-verb on. Its distorted and lazy, and lo-fi genius, i know its Christian, im not Christian, but i like good music. And its really amazing. Don't think, just download, and let your mind go numb with good jams.
