"...rollicking, clattering psych 'n' roll."

Prism Tats is South African Garrett van der Spek, who now resides in LA and purges through rollicking, clattering psych 'n' roll.

He embodies the outsider assimilating the only way he knows how — through the sparse poignancy of Death Or Fame, the roiling roll of Pacifist Masochist, the garage blues blast of Weird Guilt and the manic heave of Creep Out // Freak Out. Swinging from the White Stripes to BRMC (Excess and Haunt Me), there is space for soul too on the likes of instrumental Make The Most Of The Weekend and the emotive Midnight Mountain.
