carlton melton's dome rock

You've got to love a band that makes it clear from the outset..
"There are no studios. We record in Brian's house and Brian happens to live in a geodesic dome.. there are no rehearsals, practices, demonstration tapes, second takes... what you hear is the first take... If you prefer top-notch, modern day production and crafty songwriting you may want to stop here. If you prefer old SST label cassette tapes or an early Spaceman 3 cassette you recently found wedged in the back seat of your car you may dig some of this.."
It's clear enough then what these 3 Californian's are going to deliver. Loud, improvised, experimental, instrumental, psychedelic music.
Their new album full of trips "Always Even" is out September 24th.. and touring the UK during that month. (see their website for more info on both)
These guys should also try and get to Germany where there's an enthusiastic psych audience just waiting to partake.
Here's Carlton Melton at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco a couple of years ago. Psychedelic space rock of the finest order.
