Ghostland Observatory will lazerize WaMu this weekend / photo by Christopher Nelson We've got another great week of shows in Seattle, with a ton of variety. This is a city where you can see a good show just about every night of the week, and this one is no exception. Starting on Monday night, we've got some great Northwest connections back in town with former Fleet Fox Josh Tillman's new project, Father John Misty , performing at Neumos. On Tuesday, there's a psych fest at Neumos with Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lumerians, and Pictorials . [...]

Mixtape: Twelve Bay Area Highlights from 2011 (Podcast #263) We might be biased, but, from this vantage point, 2011 reconfirmed that the Bay Area continues to have the most vibrant music community nationwide. The SF scene cranked out a ton of amazing albums this year, and our final podcast of 2011 highlights twelve great releases from Bay Area artists over the past twelve months. This isn't a "Best of" list per se, but these acts did create some of our favorite music in 2011. We'll be doing more year-in-review coverage over the next few [...]

With no need for your permission I present two lovely slabs of psyche that have been garnering a steady stream of listens round these parts over the last few months. First up are Lumerians with their first long player Transmalinnia . Coming from San Francisco you'd expect a hallucinatory dose of whirling organs and guitars, bound to a propelled rhythm, and in this respect Lumerians don't let the listener down. So whilst tracks such as 'Black Tusk' are a little too '(Listen to the) Flower People' for real comfort, and 'Xulux' seems to be re-creating the soundtrack [...]
Lumerians, "Chevaux Fous"
I've had this band Lumerians on my radar for a little while now. It could be because their name is an interesting one that is not soon forgotten, which could be a reference to co Lemuria, the long-lost sunken continent ruled by primitive mystics. But the band spells it Lumerians, and not Lemurians, witch is perhaps a nod to son et lumiere, the fusion of sound and light that is one of the hallmarks of deep trance and media. The music is interesting to match, an intoxicating brew that is propelled by percussion-heavy tribal rhythms, a stripped-down psychedelic organ, and [...]
Tweet Mixtape: Only the East Bay (Podcast #247) This podcast episode is part mixtape and part mea culpa. Even though our name is The Bay Bridged, we periodically get people calling us out on our SF-centric coverage of Bay Area indie music. In recognition of all of the great music coming from the other side of the Bay, this mix features only East Bay artists-15 of them-spanning a wide variety of styles and sounds. The collection shows that, just like in SF, [...]

Named after a lost mythological civilization, it's no surprise that Lumerians dig deep into mysticism, shamanism, and Meddle . However, don't expect any hippy dippy horseshit here. No sir/ma'am, their debut, Transmalinnia , bolsters a foreboding and angular approach to flower power, apropos to their gritty port town of Oakland. Unlike many of the band's contemporaries that borrow heavily from the Nuggets paisley arsenal, Lumerians hardly rely on studio effects. This is obviously a record laid to tape in an unfettered live setting, probably in only a few takes. It's increasingly rare to find [...]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix.

You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you can [...]
