The Crystal Teardrop – Nine Times Nine

We have some exceptional music for your listening pleasure on our pages today. Nine Times Nine is a debut single by The Crystal Teardrop, a brand new quartet based in Stoke on Trent, UK. The band nurtures retro sound based on fundamentals of mid to late-sixties psychedelic rock and seventies classic rock. However, don’t be surprised if you stumble upon some other complementary subgenres like garage rock, acid rock, or indie. As soon as you press play, you’ll notice an immediate rush of familiar cathartic ambiance achieved by divine orchestrations and production that meets that recognizable sixties sound. The Crystal Teardrop thought about everything while assembling their debut single, and the effort paid off in a composition you’ll gladly spin again and again.

Nine Times Nine carries mesmerizing sound built upon flawlessly performed vocal harmonies, catchy melodies, soothing chord progressions and riffs, and moderate rhythmic sequences. Each instrument shapes a profoundly complex ambiance that meets all the psych-rock criteria, but don’t be surprised if you hear some progressive rock maneuvers incorporated in it as well. The song structure carries many surprises, and even though Nine Times Nine is such a calm composition, many detailed orchestrations invested into it go beyond the beforementioned genre. Still, powerful vocal harmonies and singalongs are the centerpieces of this number, and they perfectly fit this ear-appealing sonic equation. The Crystal Teardrop set the bar high with their debut single, and there’s no doubt Nine Times Nine will teleport you right back to the times when psych and classic rock bands ruled the world. The track is available on all streaming services.
