LSD and the Search for God
https://lsdandthesearchforgod.bandcamp.com/
LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005--seemingly from another place and time--dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built upon swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies. With reviews of early shows and recordings drawing comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, the band quickly developed a must-see reputation within the underground psychedelic music scene.
"Apparently, the '90s was one awesome guitar-driven, hazy dream, and the influx of bands reminiscing hard on shoegaze is more prominent than ever. San Francisco's LSD And The Search For God is no exception, the band pinning itself as a group of trippers by name alone. Living up to the moniker, the dual vocals of Andy Liszt and Sophia Campbell ride perfectly over sheets of reverb and feedback like a poppier version of Sonic Youth, and the five-piece carries some substantial weight through drummer Kevin Crouse's unabashed arena-rock style." - The Onion AV Club
Film School
https://filmschoolmusic.bandcamp.com/
What emerges from beneath the waves of Film School's new album's psychedelic dream pop are bittersweet themes of a year lived in suspended animation: anticipation, separation, regret, revelation. From the moody sonic crush of "Superperfection" driven by an icy yet ethereal harmony featuring guest vocalist Noël Brydebell of Wild Signals (who appears throughout the album), to the standout track "Isla" with its intertwining guitars and swooning synths, and culminating in the buoyant, nostalgic closer "Take What You Need," We Weren't Here bathes the listener in a soundscape of atmosphere and emotion. With their sixth full-length release since the band's formation over 20 years ago, Film School crystallize their position in the shoegaze pantheon.
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete release their sixth album Datura on June 16, 2023. It's a short, sharp shock of a record designed to be played live. Gone are the psychedelic wig-outs of previous releases, replaced with bass-heavy post-punk grooves inspired by the roots of The Congos, the no wave of Ike Yard, the industrial hip-hop of Dälek and the dark modular moves of Hiro Kone, all while harnessing the elemental power of Jon Hassell's Vernal Equinox. The band formed in 2011 around the nucleus of Lorena Quintanilla and Alberto González and found favor in psych circles with their first two albums (On Welfare and Corruptible Faces). Originally from Guadalajara (they are now based in Ensenada, Baja California), their name was half inspired by a recurring joke in Seinfeld, half by an episode of The Twilight Zone. https://obsoletelorelle.bandcamp.com/
