LSD and The Search For God – S/T [ORANGE SUNRISE Vinyl. Hand-Numbered] – New LP

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. When LSD finally released their self-titled debut EP it earned critical acclaim and continues to frequently appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases. LSD’s time and space travels have led them all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including tours with Martin Rev (Suicide), Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), and The Telescopes, as well as appearances at Levitation–Austin Psych Fest, SoCal’s Desert Daze, Manchester’s Cosmosis Festival (with The Jesus and Mary Chain), Bathysphere (with A Place To Bury Strangers), twice at Desert Stars (first with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, then The Dandy Warhols), Calgary’s Garbage Daze, and Portugal’s Reverence Valada (with The Damned, The Oh Sees, and Silver Apples).

ritically acclaimed debut EP from San Francisco's psychedelic shoegaze space rockers, LSD and the Search for God. "Take a dose of LSD and the Search for God: The highly anticipated debut from these San Francisco space-rockers is finally here! "This masterful collection of five lysergic-dipped, guitar-based gems is delightfully reminiscent of the early Creation Records sound. Turn it on and tune in to a psychedelic trip, where swirling guitars and playfully flirtatious boy/girl vocals travel through dreamy pop hooks and fuzzed out drones. "This brilliant EP makes it clear why their astonishing live performances up and down the West Coast have firmly established LSD and the Search for God as the up-and-coming darlings of the underground psychedelic, spacerock, shoegaze community." (Mind Expansion) ---------- “This impressive debut EP sounds just as epic as their name.” - The Deli Magazine, “CD of The Month” December 2006 “If you dig Spacemen 3 or The Telescopes, you will definitely dig LSD and the Search for God.” - San Francisco Chronicle, “Bandwidth” “Dreamy indie-warp...” - San Francisco Chronicle, “Pop Beat” “An absolute treat for lovers of all things shoegazey and dreamy. Superb.” - Road Records (Dublin, Ireland) “A full-on shoegazer assault of crazed guitar sounds coupled with ethereal male/female vocals. It’s an excellent remedy for those who still miss Ride, MBV, Chapterhouse.” - Losing Today “Psychedelic shoegazers...” - SF Weekly “LSD and the Search for God are the rightful inheritors of the more coherent side My Bloody Valentine and the more experimental, noisy side of Luna.” - Real Detroit Weekly “Magical pop...that could inspire one to take meds without a prescription.” - Autopia Music “Blissed-out indie rock (think Lost in Translation soundtrack).” - Splendora credits released January 16, 2007 Chris Fifield ~ guitar Sophia Campbell ~ vocals Caleb Rush ~ bass Scott Eberhardt ~ drums Andy Liszt ~ guitar, vocals All songs by heavengoing ~except~ Words to "Starting Over" with Sophia Words to "Starshine" by Sophia Recorded and mixed at New Future Vintage, Oakland, CA Produced and mixed by heavengoing Engineered by Ron Guensche Mastered by heavengoing and Ryan Van Kriedt at Sunsplit Studios, Oakland, CA Artwork and layout by Randall Nieman
