The Mourning Son

Xu Xu Fang, featuring Bobby Tamkin, formerly of sonically complex bands The Warlocks and Hovercraft, has anywhere from eight to ten members and up to four guitars, creating a layered, psychedelic sound you would expect to hear emanating from a wooded bungalow in Laurel Canyon circa 1972. The rainy sounds of Xu Xu Fang echo early Black Sabbath with whispery vocals that tend towards Elliott Smith and My Bloody Valentine.
