The Fasten Seat Belt sign is illuminated. Please recline your seat to horizontal and, in the event of excess pressure, unclutter your minds. In\u00a0<em>Roy\u2019s Garage<\/em>\u00a0treasures rarely seen and a carousel of colourful characters await on one powerful trip from the heart of Toronto\u2019s DIY psych scene in pursuit of universal truth. So sit back, relax, and absorb this announcement from your Captain:\u00a0\u201cRoy\u2019s Garage exists inside everybody\u2019s mind. It is where you keep your fondest memories and your darkest secrets,\u201d\u00a0reveals\u00a0Patrick Lefler, the man responsible for the sound of ROY.\u00a0\u201cI hope it is a place of exploration and healing. Also a space to hold yourself accountable and learn how to be new again; there is never a bad moment to go to the Garage.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4607\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4607\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ROY-Roy-Glitch-Sam-Maloney.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ROY-Roy-Glitch-Sam-Maloney.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ROY-Roy-Glitch-Sam-Maloney-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patrick Lefler, has anyone seen his mind?

Every album I create is a loaf of bread, baking in a world where temperature and humidity constantly fluctuate. It can\u2019t be recreated.\u201d\u00a0Click your heels together and lower the stylus to be transported to where paper kites, stacked boxes and paintings are reflected in multidimensional mirrors. You will be\u00a0greeted by ROY\u2019s co-conspirators\u00a0from Toronto\u2019s\u00a0Oscillitarium\u00a0\u2013 the creative hub he shares with members of Canada\u2019s independent psych community. Pre-plague, Damo Suzuki was even scheduled to appear with ROY and the gang, expertly blending their fondness for fuzz tones.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s something about the inherent freak-out style inspiring us all,\u201d\u00a0ROY tells.\u00a0\u201cWhether in rock, jazz, post-punk or something more raw, it\u2019s always psychedelic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
