Psychedelic melodies aplenty

When discussing the Welsh band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, there's a joke that is very appropriate: two guys sit near the back of the club listening to Gorky front man Euros Childs talk, and one guy says to the other, "What'd he say?" The other responds by saying he doesn't understand Welsh. The punch-line is that Childs was speaking English the whole time. And such is the story for Gorky's, the supremely talented psychedelic folk-pop outfit which played last Wednesday at the Middle East.
