#BandcampFriday 🧵 4/4: Absurd, anarchic, and powerfully psychedelic, “Camembert Electrique” is the second album by #Gong. Originally released in 1971, this iconic and influential recording is still devastatingly fresh sounding today. Weirdness, wisdom, outré rock as you’d expect from the founding-father of acid-rock #DaevidAllen. Available via #BYGRecords, May 24th. https://bygrecords.bandcamp.com/album/camembert-electrique
