I actually have that 
They had a very young Bon Scott and Adelaide legend “Uncle”.
Actually, here you go
Are we done here?

'twas partly my point
Actually, still waiting on people that would almost certainly like it if i recommended it on the WAYLTN thread to come and say it’s shit
Nope. None of that actually. I’m very impressed with it. This is largely due to the absence of flutes and the fact that it attempts to have some songs. I’m going to listen to it again before I express my feelings about it as an LP.
I’ve taken the liberty of creating a thread you can fuck off to, then
Chuck 'em some coinage if you download any other albums then 
I’m impressed with what it isn’t.

“Electric Relics”, aye right.
Time to 'fess up.
It’s you in cowboy boots and a cape, isn’t it?
It’s a lycra cowboy hat
I have to say, not really for me. It sounds like a good band played at the wrong speed (too slow). Not keen on the singer (bad version of Neil Young) and it’s pretty derivative of many 1970’s bands. Sounds like a US garage band from 1975 to me,
Can do better, but at least it’s not country music girl with guitar or prog.

Unlike all the rest, I really like this and will continue to investigate their back catalogue as well. Thanks!
(That said, given we evidently have similar tastes based on a lot of your now listening posts over time, I really wasn’t too surprised to find it enjoyable).

Great! I suggest Old World Wanderer 
(Quite possibly what @notaclue will turn up and announce would have actually in fact been a better choice)
Yours was the first review

Sorry to disappoint Neil, but another big from me.
I really like this. Great find !
An unusual mix of fairly obvious Americana meets riffs, fuzz, riffs, psych and alt country. Did I mention the riffs and fuzz ? Sort of All Them Witches meets Truck Fighters meets a tamed down Electric Wizard.
Bought the LP, though feckin’ postage is ruinous.
Again, I can safely prejudge the tenor of your responses where no capes are involved!
Should’ve gone with Turbonegro 
Nowt wrong with a bit of Glampunk
‘Old World Wanderer’ would have been a better choice…
Never heard of them.
I thought on first exposure this was very enjoyable. It’s obviously generic (as is so much stoner rock) and I didn’t really that hear much country (I was expecting Nashville-esque), but they do it very well. You can hear enough talent here to lift it above a lot of stoner rock.
The opening cymbal sounds good, but the rest of it pretty muddy sounding. Though it quite suits the music.
This sort of thing often is my cup of tea so I found it very immediate. It’s a quality 40 minutes of stoner rock.
I had a quick burst of OWW (as I’m sure their fans refer to it…) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1yryA6LgWw and I think this was much the better choice as it has more character and more drama. OWW is a bit too generic and flat.
I will provide 2 reviews, one using prose and one using pictures:
The Prose:
I really should like this LP. On the face of it there are fuzzy distorted guitars playing simple riffs, descending basslines, blissed/washed/wiped out vocals, and a generally slack stoner vibe.
It doesn’t work for me and I’m wasn’t sure why at first. Repeated listens (3 times by God) suggests three reasons. Firstly, it is the poorly recorded nature of the thing. This is not so much a lo-fi recording as just a muddy mess. Secondly, it is utterly devoid of inspiration or imagination. The drumming is metronomic, but not in a good way, just in a ‘this is the only pattern I know/can be arsed to bash out’ kind of way. Then there are the riffs, which should be huge, primal slabs of fuzz and distortion and yet aren’t. In one tune the riff is laughably similar to the chord progression from Rod, Jane and Freddy’s Rainbow Theme Tune. Finally, the song titles and lyrics are utterly ludicrous. The description provided by the band for their Bandcamp album page sums it all up:
“Electric Relics” is our humble offering placed at the crossroads of past, present, and future tense. Age-old energies and 3 phase electric power intersect to reveal hidden truths of bygone times, modern mysticisms, and sound the alarm for uncertain days to come. We walk through this shadowy land in search of a spark to light the fire and illuminate the depths of consciousness.
That is gusset-moisteningly funny stuff. Is this a piss take? It is supposed to be Doom but is fucking funny when you listen to it.
I actually paid the artist for this, so on those grounds I’ll award it 3/5, but -2 for ripping off Rod, Jane and Freddy.
The pictorial review (for the tl;dr crowd):
