The Early Years vision is to create washes of psychedelic guitar noises meshed in with feedback, drones, distortion and wah set against a strong metronomic beat. The Early Years admire the noises of Mogwai, Acid Mother's Temple, Spiritiualized, all Sonic Booms stuff, Neu, Can, Tortoise, 33.3, Isotope 217, Jeff Parker, Stars of the Lid, The Teardrop Explodes, 60's Garage music and psychedelia.
