Chorduroy, “Alien Mask”: Fuzzy, snotty and frenzied, this is psych rock just like momma used to make. Chorduroy’s latest album comes complete with deliciously blown out vocals, driving basslines and searing guitar riffage. So, hang up a blacklight poster, turn on the lava lamp and get to headbanging.  

Like what you hear? Check out Chorduroy at Casbah on Saturday, Aug. 30
