Black Market Karma

Black Market Karma are a Neo-Psychedelic group from the UK. Their sound is thick and colourful, the core of it rooted in 60's Guitar & Pop music, with layers of 90's Psychedelia, Fuzzed out tones and drunken grooves. They've incorporated touches of Folk, Blues, Lo-Fi Electronica, Hip Hop influenced beats and traditional Indian music. Hailing from London and now residing on the South Coast of England, the band have 11 albums in their catalogue, all written and self produced in their entirety by band leader and multi-instrumentalist Stan Belton. They are recognised and respected by their peers within contemporary Psych Rock, having toured with The Black Angels and The Warlocks,
and collaborated with Sonic Boom (Ex Spacemen 3) The Telescopes, Tess Parks and The Underground Youth.

“Black Market Karma offer unadulterated sincerity and dynamism in their sonic approach and 'Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas' is a bold and ambitious body of work; a cacophony of beguiling melodies, killer hooks and an abundance of playfully distorted wobble” CLASH MUSIC

“A trip you don't want to miss out on...there is nothing 'extra' here that is not needed, that doesn't serve to create a better, more addictive song. This album is bravely and perfectly executed” THE SPILL MAGAZINE

'I heard this and..I loved the vibe and the song. I think it's a song most of us can relate to. Has a whiff of The Only Ones, Daniel Johnston maybe, even a little soupcon of Beat Happening. Was a pleasure to mix. I wish I'd written it” PETE KEMBER on 'The Sour Truth'

“You don't want to miss it if you're a fan of Lo-Fi Electronica fused with atmospheric psychedelia” IT'S PSYCHEDELIC BABY MAGAZINE
