Austin 360
The 1990 Roky Erickson tribute album, Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye, was one of the best tributes ever made, so why not a sequel? Former Austinite Bill Bentley, who produced the first one, has gathered up an impressive cast for May the Circle Remain Unbroken: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, coming out as a special Record Store Day vinyl release on July 17 via Light in the Attic Records.
Erickson, who led the pioneering 1960s psychedelic band 13th Floor Elevators and released more than a dozen records under his own name in the ensuing decades, died in 2019 at age 71.
Austin artists are well-represented. Gary Clark Jr. and Eve Monsees team up on Roller Coaster, while guitarist Charlie Sexton pairs with singer Alison Mosshart of international rockers the Kills on Starry Eyes. Local psych-rock kingpins the Black Angels, who named their Levitation festival after an Erickson song, recorded Don t Fall Down for the tribute.
May the Circle Remain Unbroken: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, a new compilation album gathering covers of the late psych rock pioneer’s songs recorded by various artists. Contributors include Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Margo Price, Neko Case, Ty Segall, Gary Clark Jr. and Eve Monsees, Lucinda Williams, and Chelsea Wolfe. The album arrives July 17 as a Record Store Day exclusive vinyl release; there will be a bonus RSD-only flexi-disc, too, featuring a previously unreleased Erickson track called “Love Heiroglyphics” that was recorded in the 1970s. A CD version of the new tribute album is set to be released later this year. Check out the cover artwork and tracklist below.
