Anton Barbeau - Glitch Wizard (2025)

Anton Barbeau's "Glitch Wizard" is what happens when grief, psychedelics, and an unhealthy Steely Dan obsession collide in a basement studio named "Dark Mystery Temple." These 12 sonic spells were conjured while Barbeau's father smoked final cigarettes in the next room, with an alternative rock dream team providing the magical backup: Dave Gregory (XTC) wielding guitar incantations, Andy Metcalfe (Soft Boys) weaving bass enchantments, and Donald Ross Skinner (Julian Cope) adding cosmic textures. The result? A dense, glitching tapestry of psych-pop and krautfolk that's less an album and more an emotional exorcism set to music—perfect for listeners who enjoy their pop with a side of existential crisis and a sprinkle of interdimensional travel.
