Is that anything like I've been told?

It distantly resembles, if you squint the right way, something you might have been told years ago and have long since forgotten.
It's pretty bog-standard bluesy psych rock of the non-American persuasion.

The Nude Party - The Nude Party (2018)
Here's another new artist I found in the pages of New Depression. The Nude Party offers 60's garage band psychedelia at its best. Lots of cheesy Farfisa, reverb guitar and ragged harmony vocals swim around in a low fi 60's mix that is just murky enough without annoying.
Ones To Watch sez:
More like brothers than bandmates, the six Nude dudes bring an energy to their live shows unlike any band I’ve seen as of late. And with such tight tunes reminiscent of The Animals and The Velvet Underground, you’d never know that most of the members have only been playing their instruments for about five years now.
With a recent move out of North Carolina and into the Catskill Mountains of New York, the Nudes are rolling up their sleeves to focus on writing and recording more under the guidance and mentorship of Black Lips’ drummer Oakley Munson. While the boys of The Nude Party are actually keeping their clothes on for the most part these days, the party aspect of their namesake is still fully operative. Their work-hard-play-hard mentality is clearly paying off too, with the group touring and supporting acts like The Growlers, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Black Lips, Ty Segall, Twin Peaks, Post Animal and Night Beats.
on the Sam-O-Meter.

Dave Alvin - Eleven Eleven
Been on a Dave Alvin kick lately. If you like that kind of "heavy folk" music, then that first album is a delight. Cindy Cashdollar and Nina Gerber are in the band, if either of those names mean anything to you. Eleven Eleven is the follow-up release. In the same tone but with a different backing band. Oddly enough, on RYM The Guilty Women release got lower marks than the few albums released before and after. For me, it's a highlight in the catalog.

Before they pivoted to trashy pop and ruined a good band.

Various Artists - Rytm Och Swing: Swedish Jazz 1937-39 (Caprice comp. 1996)
Those crazy Swedes put forth a lot of hot jazz before WWII, no mean feat in chilly Scandinavia. The Swing Swingers, Sven Stilberg, Sam Samsons...all of your favorites are here. Mabel Albins and Alice Babs provide the swinging vocals.
on the Sam-O-Meter, How Swede it is!
