As we head toward the weekend, enjoy this delightfully frantic performance of "Laser Barn" by Lumerians . The song comes from the Horizon Structures EP, but the band's newest album, The High Frontier , arrives stateside in August.

Mixtape: San Francisco's Newest Psychedelic Sounds (Podcast #306) It's almost 18 months since we last did a psych-focused mixtape , which means there's quite a bit to catch up on. The Bay continues to be a vital source for top-notch mind-expanding bands, whether it's the heady drones of Carlton Melton and Date Palms , or the swaggering rock of Glitter Wizard and Coo Coo Birds . Several of the groups included [...]
It’s a wonderful balmy evening in old London town; the winter finally appears to have sloped off in its soggy shoes and taken its frost-bitten arse away for a few months, so it seems like the only sensible thing to do is to go to my home away from home – Corsica Studios – for a night of rock cosmology with the mythic Lumerians and electro bandits K-X-P. By Ross Pike
The High Frontier is the newly-announced album from Oakland psych explorers Lumerians , arriving on our planet on August 6th. According to the group's announcement, the six-song set was recorded in the band's "self-built studio/brewery: a room housed in a converted store-front church in a neighborhood affectionately referred to as the 'Murder Dubbs.'" Enjoy the band's new video for "The Bloom" and dig the track listing and awesome album art below. Lumerians - The High [...]

Helmed by Nick Barbery with an ear bent toward the obscure, esoteric and out-of-print, Ghost Capital digs globally mining the secret shafts of psych, folk, blues and beyond.

Other than culling Canadian bands, the 2012 Le Guess Who? lineup had a crush on California psych and garage. Foxygen, Ty Segall, White Fence were all on the bill, but Lumerians brought a different kind of color to Utrecht. Their space-rock, half-prog, full-melt songs were grittier numbers, not content to just mess with your head, but to really put the screws to your mind with phasing synths, motorik beats, and dense song structures. These are the self-titled nerds who could have been swayed to be in some prog rock band, but decided to listen to [...]
Part three of the DFBM Best of 2012 listing. It's a bit longer, because it's not really bound to any genre. Ok, at the end it's pretty much a similar sound, but who cares. I am a narrow minded guy. Enjoy anyway... 20. Grimes - Visions [...]

Janvier : Peter Broderick – http://www.itstartshear.com On avait entrepris de s'écrire des emails en forme de lettres à l'ancienne. Ça commençait pas "Cher" et ça finissait par de longues formules abracadabrantes que j'avais du aller chercher sur des sites de rédaction de lettres formelles pour l'administration française. On s'en envoyait des dizaines par semaine, pour se dire tout et rien à la fois. Et puis j'ai décidé de lui écrire une vraie lettre, avec du papier, un crayon, des ratures et mon écriture de gamine de CM2. J'ai commencé [...]
Hard to believe we've entered the last month of this year. Soon it will be all over, and if you believe the Mayans, it might just be. Not one to vacillate and worry about things I can't control, I suggest we enjoy as much music as we're able to sustain. So let's get to it. Welcome, December! Grab a cup of coffee and check out these: Discover: The Wytches Surf-grunge wunderkind, The Wytches , are a trio out of [...]
Notre mixtape, elle est un peu méfiante et effarouchée avec les personnes qu’elle ne connaît pas, mais une fois qu'elle se livre, je pense que vous allez bien vous entendre. This is our mix tape. It's a little suspicious and reserved around new people, but once it opens up, I think you'll get along great. Mixtape
Tandis que la vague psyché n'a de cesse d'écumer aux quatre coins du globe - avec des formations porte-étendard telles que Tame Impala, White Fence, Wooden Shjips ou Moon Duo - et que les réminiscences Krautrock se font toujours plus en plus pesantes - ou comment l'inspiration savante se meut progressivement en sens giratoire (Turzi Electronique Experience, Zombie Zombie) -, certains procèdent dans l'ombre et le quasi-anonymat pour étayer, sans jamais dépareiller, l'idée d'un space-rock intense et roboratif, brusquement congédié par la glaciation des années quatre-vingt. Et si les Londoniens de The Oscillation s’immiscent aisément dans cette catégorie, [...]
So summer is in the books, and we up here in the Rose City can look forward to eight months of grey skies, rain, and perhaps a wee bit of snow. Awesome! So as is tradition we take a look back at the previous season, select our favorite mp3s and put 'em all in to one handy mix. Rad? Um... yeah. This is the Summer Rewind 2012. Tame Impala; Apocalypse Dreams Lumerians; Track 3 [...]
This is very cool. Here we’ve got an LP of upbeat psych jamming from Californian freak quintet Lumerians, which seems to be split into two distinct sides according to the press release. Side A contains “fragments of raw stellar ore. Unnamed and unclassified, delivered with a thin protective lubricant to prevent violent combustion in the Earth's oxygen rich atmosphere”, while on the flip we’ve
We took last week to unplug, debug, and reboot, so we are catching up on cleaning out our inbox. First matter of business is a cut off of Lumerians new album, Transmissions From Telos: Vol. IV, now available on Permanent Records . Check it out. This is Track 3. Lumerians; Track 3
Last night we went into Vision Fortune’s drug simulator again. The experience was administered via waves of sound and shards of light. The test-subjects reactions weren’t subtle: doing the splits like the Devils of Loudoun. Or alternatively, warp sickness of travel, and dejected exit of the altered spaces. Guess which team we were playing with. As we listen to Lumerians Psychedelic Cowboy bruiser, ‘3’, we cannot help but flash back & drown further in the images rained upon us by the Fortune, like Holographic Hail, for these guys are part of the same fifth [...]
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 . [...]
