Fans of things like Flaming Lips, Syd Barrett, and the space between should find safe haven with Echo Orbiter's latest album, Euphonicmontage .

Every Monday and Thursday at 2 p.m., Y-Rock On XPN's John Vettese spotlights the best musicians from the Delaware Valley in the Philly Local Philes. Later this month, Echo Orbiter—the experimental psych-pop project of brothers Justin and Colin Emerle—will release its latest album, Euphonicmontage , on Looking Glass Workshop. It's something like their 11th or 12th studio album, but that ranking is certainly up for debate if you count outtake compilations, longer EPs, and the like. Whatever the case, these guys are prolific, with a solid resume – they've worked with [...]
