The Litter - Emerge (1968),Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock

In 1968, this psychedelic garage group native of Minneapolis, Minn., which had already gained some popularity in the underground gringo, released their third plate entitled Emerge, which presents a reinvented Litter, now more lysergic, more powerful, more energy , rawest, dirtiest and also with heavy sounds.

To speak of the Litter, is talking about a band that has gained a well-deserved cult status, thanks to scores of 3 excellent garage and psychedelia albums that are highly sought by collectors the world, especially for those looking for rarities, rock psychedelic, garage rock, proto-punk and hard rock underground.

Emerge is an album unlike their previous albums (Distorsions 1966 and $ 100 Fine, 1968), is an album that is more geared to the nascent heavy psych to garage of said discs, but still, the album still sounds proto -punk, only now bathed in super-lysergic atmospheres, low fuzz guitars and touches of folk, jazz and boogie influences on the 13th Floor Elevators, the Who, the Electric Prunes, the Monks, Iron Butterfly, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, Yesterday's Children, Morgen, MC5 and Blue Cheer and obviously sounds pre-sabbathianos, so Emerge offers a wide range of styles in the not distant 70's would result in both bands "heavy garage" as Negative Space or Lyd as in the not too distant punk.
