Sweet find Robert. I'd just listened to one of their songs yesterday via this tongue-in-cheek contest:
Eurovision Psych Contest – vote for the continent’s best space rockers
http://www.brandish.tv/2013/05/16/eurovision-psych-contest-vote-for-the-continents-best-space-rockers.html
Several nice tunes here.
I of course voted for UK's Beaulieu Porch (Simon Berry) who's released 2 records in less than a year. I also highly recommend checking out Simon's power-pop side under the nom de plume Spider 72. You can hear it all here:

There's been a growing trend in psych-tinged groups the past several years, which is a great thing IMO.
My absolute favorite of the year so far is from Maston (Frank Maston, and he has a real group behind him), a true sun drenched southern California mix of Sea of Tunes outtakes & Fading Yellow baroque. Like those 2 Jacco Gardner 45s last year, and 2008's Juniper's Cut Your Key, this give me goosebumps each time I hear it. In the US, courtesy of the same label as Jacco Gardner, The Resonars and The Wrong Words.
