This was one of Merrell Fankhauser bands throughout the mid to late 60’s and early 70’s. "Things" was released in 1968, sandwiched in between Fankhauser’s Fapardokly and Mu albums. Things is a bona fide masterpiece of 60’s sounds, coming across like a meeting between Buffalo Springfield, Spirit, the Byrds and Cream.
This album is much more psych minded than 1966’s folk-rock inclined Fapardokly too. A Visit With Ashiya is possibly Fankhauser at his most psychedelic, awashed with stoned vocals and walls of sitar. It’s also one of the album’s centerpieces and a raga rock killer that ends with some thick fuzztones. Things has a handful of tuneful, melodic folk-rockers that hark back to earlier times. Ice Cube Island is one of the best of these folk-rockers, being so blissed out and eretheral. It’s an excellent example of acid folk-rock. Other songs like Madame Silky, What Does He See In You and Rich Man’s Fable work really well too and are characterized by paranoid vocals and liquidy fuzz guitar leads. For most listeners though, the highlight of this album is Your Painted Lives. It’s one of those incredible 60’s songs, an early foray into rural psych that chugs along with echoed vocals and once again, hard fuzz guitar riffs.
Things is delicate and raunchy all at once and a great, American underground rock record and deserves a special place among the best psychedelic 60’s albums
