Songs like \u2018Green Undertow\u2019 and \u2018Sleeveless\u2019 hark back to the time when The Beatles were spinning the world on its axis with \u2018Tomorrow Never Knows\u2019, Syd Barrett was the piper at the gates of dawn and Roky Erickson was introducing the world to his Texan psychedelic sounds. Wellwater Conspiracy\u2019s music exists in that moment when pop music started to fracture and go far further out. It was still pop music, but the edges were starting to blur and the sounds were starting to fracture. This is where \u2018Declaration of Conformity\u2019 sits; at the dawn of one of the biggest cultural shifts in musical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pre-order \u2018Declaration of Conformity\u2019 here: <a href=\"https:\/\/godunknownrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/declaration-of-conformity\">https:\/\/godunknownrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/declaration-of-conformity<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GOD101 &#8211; Wellwater Conspiracy &#8211; Declaration of Conformity LP track-listing.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeveless<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You Do You<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trowerchord<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green Undertow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I Love You Everyday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nati Bati Yi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Far Side of Your Moon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ending<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Space Travel in the Blink Of An Eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6-6-5-4-3-2-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shel Talmy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucy Leave<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Declaration of Conformity&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palomar Observatory&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bandcamp link will also feature two bonus download only tracks, a cover of \u2018Akka Ragga\u2019 by Shocking Blue and \u2018Late Night\u2019 by Syd Barrett.
