HOMEMADE LOFI PSYCH --- WHERE TO START?





"There is so much great music here..." WHERE TO START???

I recommend to
start with the HLFP-Samplers (especially HLFP 04).
Here you will come to know many of the bands/musicians featured in this blog. If you like what you hear, you may check out more of their music later on.
(You may also click on the picture on the sidebar and you will find the original post with download links.)

There is also a "FOCUS ON..." section. Here you will find albums that imo are absolutely great (***** = "five-stars-recordings") and that are essential listening and strongly recommended for download.


I TRY to RE-UP some stuff that has been down from time to

time, but I still don't have enough time to

listen to/post much new stuff.

Sorry!

IMPRESSUM: see here!

Test pressing of the LP DRAW DOWN THE DISTANCE by Cloud Nine & The Vitamin C arrived – UPDATE

Our Promo-video (long version)


ON MY OWN BEHALF:
The test pressing of the LP of my old psychedelic rock band CLOUD NINE & THE VITAMIN C arrived yesterday.

Really an excellent pressing quality - release granted! Hopefully the coloured copies will be just as good. There will be a limited, hand-numbered edition of 250 copies - in splattered vinyl in red and black. The seven songs on the LP date (except for one recording) from 1992. After more than 30 years, there soon will be an LP after all... 
Release date is expected to be early December.

There will also be a 10" - RAINFRONTIER - with earlier songs (from 1990) available, also strictly limited (to 275 copies) in colored vinyl. 


IN EIGENER SACHE:
Die Testpressung der LP meiner alten Psychedelic-Rock-Band CLOUD NINE & THE VITAMIN C ist gestern angekommen.

Wirklich eine hervorragende Pressqualität - Freigabe erteilt! Hoffentlich werden die farbigen Exemplare genauso gut sein. Es wird eine limitierte, handnummerierte Auflage von 250 Stück geben - in gesprenkeltem Vinyl in rot und schwarz.
Die sieben Songs auf der LP stammen (bis auf eine Aufnahme) aus dem Jahr 1992. Nach mehr als 30 Jahren gibt es nun doch noch eine LP … 

Außerdem wird auch eine 10" – RAINFRONTIER  – mit früheren Songs (aus dem Jahr 1990) erhältlich sein, ebenfalls streng limitiert (auf 275 Exemplare) in farbigem Vinyl.

Now it's WAITING for the LP! Hopefully it will be ready for sale from December 6th 2023. You can order your Copy dirctly at Musikgarage Bensheim: unser_kleiner_musikshop@t-online.de

3 - Siren Song Streaming Link:
  Soundcloud (Free Download) 
 
„Lee McAdams is a musician, songwriter and producer from Providence, Rhode Island. His eclectic style and ability to adapt has led to many collaborations over the years, gaining some notoriety among the New England music scene with the Cosmic Factory. Lee started the Cosmic Factory, a psychedelic/progressive rock trio, in 2010 and the group remains very active. Lee’s most recent projects include the Tellurian Orchestra, an orchestral ambient/new age project, who released their debut EP in September 2023. Finding inspiration in everything from old roots music to groundbreaking progressive music, Lee’s music covers a lot of ground and is always evolving.

Lee also founded the indie label and recording studio Squatch Sounds, based in Smithfield, RI. At Squatch Sounds, he has mixed and/or recorded music for Wogglez, White Rabbit, the McAdams Brothers and more.
“In the Crypt” is the latest EP by Lee McAdams, released on October 27th. Just in time for Halloween! Stemming from his interest in the paranormal, McAdams wrote these three songs about cryptids. The second of three EPs that Lee started writing during the pandemic lockdown and the first to feature vocals. This EP was inspired by the music of Porcupine Tree, Clutch, Goblin, Pink Floyd and more. A music video for the song “Wendigo” will be released on October 31st." (EPK info)

Indeed I can hear a clear Porcupine Tree influence in Lee's work. And his guitar playing reminds me of  David Gilmour's later sound.

SpaceyY - Bubble Wrap (video, USA 2023)

 

Here's a psychedelic music video for a single "Bubble Wrap" by Los Angeles, CA based psychedelic rock musician SpaceyY. Enjoy!

„In support of their upcoming EP “Spacious”, SpaceyY 

recently dropped a new music video for the single,  

“Bubble Wrap”.  Primarily shot during a trip out to 

Baltimore last winter, the video also features live footage

 from CVC’s Summer PsychOut Tour.

Following up this year’s first release Currently ft. 

Murtzel, “Bubble Wrap” is a riff heavy jam that pays 

homage to the current wave of neo-psych bands like

 Oh Sees, Acid Dad, and Levitation Room while 

staying unique with a variety of melodies and 

vocal flows.
