The first single from Imaad Wasif’s new album “The Voidist” has emerged, and, my, is it good. The guitar maestro, who has played with Lou Barlow’s Folk Implosion and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, fronted Alaska! and, most recently, collaborated on the score of the forthcoming Spike Jonze-directed movie “Where the Wild Things Are,” has crafted a psych-rock gem that, like a lot of his music, has strong spiritual overtones. Anybody who liked the prettier moments on his great 2008 album “Strange Hexes” will be excited. “The Voidist,” made with his band the Two Part Beast (Bobb Bruno and Adam Garcia) and featuring cameos from Dale Crover (Melvins) and Greg Burns (Red Sparowes), will be out in October on Tee Pee Records.
