Come, blessed barrier between day and day
Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
You up for a challenge? You have to get hold of this EP first. Vinyl is best, but you also need a portable player and proper headphones for the experiment, so it has to be digital too. OK, now head for the nearest Luna Park, and take a ride on one of those mechanics octopuses with a cabin at the end of every tentacle. The wilder the better, up and down and in circles, fast, spinning, flash of lights and the world turns upside down. Do not forget to put on your headphones at LOUD volume before it starts to move! If your stomach is strong enough to survive this, it’s gonna be the most exciting and unforgettable psychedelic experience of your whole existence.
Is there anything more exciting than lucid dreaming, indeed? To push yourself in another dimension to reach the unreachable! That’s what the Carlisle’s band have been doing now for years, and keep doing better and better. The “Unchained Dub” version offered here, recorded for BBC6, it’s a sunbathed duel between a Morriconesque harmonica and a Mad Professor’s turntable, doubled by a fat, groovy bassline.
“Bad Texan” – the only 100% new track – yes, it goes up and down and fast and forward and spin in circles firing kaleidoscopic flashes of lights, dreamy carillon-keyboards, dirty guitars and baggy vocals. It’s a dance, a dance, dance.
If this is an appetizer for The Lucid Dream‘s third album, you won’t be risking to miss it.
“Bad Texan EP” was released on March 11th, and it’s available as 12″ and download through the band’s own Holy Are You Recordings.
The new album is scheduled for Autumn 2016. It won’t be long.
