Journeyman rocker Nick Bensen still remembers the first unplugged concert he ever saw. The son of 60s hipster parents in New York who kept the house filled with the sounds of now classic rock, they once gave a party at which Lou Reed played an impromptu acoustic set. One can only guess at what Lou was strumming that night but if the approach of blending melodic pop and freakout psychedelia on Nick's "No Resistance" is any indication, the setlist probably included both "Sunday Morning" and "Sister Ray."
No Resistance is the second instalment in what can be defined as Nick Bensen's "psychedelic" phase. After years of everything from teenage prodigy (he began playing in clubs at the Sextonesque age of 13) and Springsteen parody to punk and Cheap Trick tribute bands, he released his full review

Pop orientierter, als „Psychedelic Juggernaut", aber es ist Freakpop, d.h. schöne Melodien, in einem surrealen wabern und mit psychedelischen Klängen, Feedbacks und Flaschbacks. Slide- & Fuzzgitarren ziehen vorbei, ein Örgelchen schlän-gelt sich durch den Kosmos mit einer kleiner Melodie, die Vocals und Harmonien tänzeln irgendwo zwischen Syd Barrett & Sgt. Peppers. Insider die Bands wie Angus mögen sollten sofort zugreifen. (Free City Media)

Fantastic Acid-Psych Album. This guy has the best references. In his younger years he learned to play the guitar from Ira Kaplan (Yo La Tengo). Later in the 80´s he jams through all the real cool scenes of the east coast (Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr., Feelies). Finally found the roots in the middlewest. Driven from the moneyneed he quits for a middleclass-job in the californian advertisement industry. How sad. But then at a Terrastock Festival he meet Nick Saloman and Ade Shaw (Bevis Frond) and changed again to the music.
Sawing guitars, spherical Keyboards, driving grooves, some singing. The next Pill is calling. alie

Ein amerikanischer Psychedelic-Homerecorder. Stell dir vor: The Cosmic Gardeners, Bevis Frond und Alan-The Elf-Davey würden zusammen jammen. Space- & Trancerock, schwebende und eiernde Keyboards, wabernde Gitarren, instru-mentale Soundscapes, Sitareinwürfe, umher-irrende, Gitarren und eine puckernde Beatbox.

Freakpop, cosmic sounds, sawing guitars, spherical keyboards, driving grooves, acid folk and sitars being thrown in. A voyage through psychedelia where one hundred vibes surround you in a blissful harmony.
