There will also be a pair of real 3D glasses in there as well, just in case you need to add a few extra dimensions. 6 exclusive tracks from 6 contemporary psych bands spanning the globe. Available at Sonic Cathedral Records. HIGH & LOW / LET ME OUT 7" (Reverberation Appreciation Society, 2012) "“High & Low” b/w “Let Me Out” is the second official single release by The Vacant Lots. Formed by Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen, the duo takes as much inspiration from Bo Diddley and The Stooges as it does from Andy Warhol and Arthur Rimbaud. They have developed their own sound, producing an immense, unrelenting, sonic assault with just two people, combining a minimalist aesthetic of rock n roll with hypnotic guitar riffs, Native American influenced drumming, electronic drones, poetry-driven lyrics and live visual projections" - Reverberation Appreciation Society CONFUSION / CADILLAC 7" (Mexican Summer, 2011) "Hailing from the wooded confines of Burlington, Vermont, The Vacant Lots are musicians as well as scientists, having built a time machine that will transport your headspace directly to the Sunset Strip in 1967. "Confusion” and “Cadillac” are both prime-cut psychedelic burners, heavy-lidded and strobing with the delights of the era, pristine examples of atmosphere and attitude lent to great pop-rock songwriting." - Mexican Summer "It's executed so efficiently, with just the right doses of studied apathy and simmering tension, that it's difficult not to return to its ceaselessly repetitive groove again and again." - Pitchfork
