"In 1969, Texas acid-psych warlords the Bubble Puppy burst onto the U.S. Top 20 with 'Hot Smoke and Sasafrass,' the slashing, frenzied 2:33 freakout that kicks off the band's brain-bending debut,
A Gathering of Promises
. Signed to Houston's legendary International Artists imprint, the foursome were label mates of such hallowed acts as the 13th Floor Elevators and the Red Krayola. But
A Gathering of Promises
, the group's sole International Artists album, stands out from the rest of the roster with its rich vocal harmonies and heavier, Cream/Hendrix/Who sound. Descended from Corpus Christi garage kings the Bad Seeds, the Bubble Puppy's tripped-out calling card was its combination of soaring, fuzz-drenched guitars, frantic drumming, stop-on-a-dime arrangements, and tight, graceful harmonies. The Bubble Puppy may have been a one-hit wonder (and what a hit!) but after a trip through the manic 'Lonely,' the cryptically twisting 'I've Got to Reach You,' and the majestic, guitar-searing 'Hurry Sundown,' any psych fan will be left scratching their head and wondering why -- if they still have a head to scratch, that is."
