[Psychedelic Rock]
Friends of Dennis Wilson
Chrome Universe *** 1/2
Announced the same week: a reissue of onetime Beach Boy Dennis Wilson’s lost masterpiece Pacific Ocean Blue and a Vegas performance by Detroit’s Friends of Dennis Wilson. Coincidence? Listening to the group’s excellently druggy garage-psych, we can’t shake the feeling there’s a hidden communiqué in there somewhere linking everything together—and possibly revealing some Manson Family secrets as well.
