Kristyl - Kristyl (Vinyl)

Grey-area reissue of this private press album, originally released in 1975; Kristyl were based in Louisville, KY. Highly regarded local Christian 1970s melodic guitar-rock with an open late-1960s West Coast vibe, dual guitars and great organic playing/vocals all around. They have a very distinct sound, which makes the tracks seem similar at first, but it opens up after some plays and remains that way. The best tracks such as 'Deceptions of the Mind' and 'Valley of Life' are truly monumental. Personal fave, one of the big ones in the style. Great sleeve design.' --Acid Archives
