"Stay Groovy" is an impressive instrumental rock EP put together by Mexico City four piece Totemzombies. As the album title suggests, the influence of '60s psychedelia and the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa is well apparent, as these guys turn out one rhythm heavy jam after another. The entire band is tight, and they understand the relationship of their instruments. "Stay Groovy" is a very raw sounding album, as the band recorded it live in studio. You'll enjoy the fact that the band lets you hear their music as it is. It's essentially how it would sound if you saw Totemzombies live, since each track appears to be done in one take and at times seems to be improvisational. "Watermelon" kicks things off with a grooving bass line, banging drums, and wailing guitar solos. "Cameleon" slows things down a bit and features more incredible guitar work. "Butterfly" closes things out with a quirky guitar riff and some nice work on the drums. With "Stay Groovy," Totemzombies are trying to keep the psychedelic movement alive through stunning guitar riffs and all-out jams. If you like '60s psychedelia and a tight instrumental rock sound, "Stay Groovy" with the Totemzombies.
