Featuring 11 brand new tracks inc. ‘Double Lucifer’, ‘Piz Buin’ and ‘Semantics’, High Art Lite takes a different tilt to its predecessor by emphasising the immediate and the personal. The colours are blown-out and the brightness is cranked up. TVAM’s take on such things as role models, fictional movie character tropes, and fables of good and evil, are all tackled with the same suspicious cynicism but this time with an urgent belief in the human condition.

New York City neo-psychedelia five-piece GIFT have premiered their new single "Feather" alongside an accompanying music video.
The song is taken from their much-anticipated debut album 'Momentary Presence', set to arrive on entirety on October 14th through Dedstrange. Pre-order your copy here.
On the slow burning psychedelic ballad, Bandleader TJ Freda sings of “psychic destabilization and the quest for balance” from a patchwork nest of warm lo-fi electronica held together with hallucinatory bedroom production work plus a ton of love.
“I wrote ‘Feather’ after waking up from a lucid dream,” says Freda. “It’s about trying to help someone who can’t be helped, but in the end, you want to accept them for who they are and love them no matter what. It’s one of the most personal songs on the record.”
In the video, director Dylan Brannigan does his own dance of reality, performing magic acts of audiovisual alchemy to transform GIFT’s metaphysical disturbances into a series of surreal vignettes; each rendered in hazy, saturated hues like a contraband bootleg VHS of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain.
""Feather is Inspired by Jung’s theories of collective unconscious and its archetypes - A man, representing The Nine of Swords tarot card enters the astral plane where he undergoes a transformative experience. Incorporating themes of botanical consciousness, individuation, and harmony, Feather is a portal into the mind of a character on the edge of a new frontier. "
On the astral plane, our story follows the figure of the Nine of Swords Tarot Card as he undergoes a process of individuation.

On the single frontman Kyle Ross lays into capitalism and the pains he feels it causes, “We all seem to be chasing money and material things. And I think it leaves us empty and unfulfilled. Despite that, it’s just so ingrained in us as a society and it prevails.”
Australian psychedelic/alt-rock band The Church have returned with their new single "The Hypnogogue" and its accompanying music video.
Speaking about it, frontman Steve Kilbey says: "I don’t think this song has any predecessor in our history at all. The Hypnogogue is set in 2054, a dystopian and broken down future. Invented by Sun Kim Jong, a North Korean scientist and occult dabbler. It is a machine and a process that pulls music straight of the dreams."
"The song is about Eros Zeta, the biggest rock star of 2054 who has travelled from his home in Antarctica (against his manager's advice) to use the Hypnogogue to help him revive his flagging fortunes," he also falls in love with Sun Kim and it all ends tragically (of course...as these thing often do)."

The band’s Bert Hoover notes “It’s a song about trying to figure out your place in life,” further adding “I wrote it with a Hammond Auto-vari drum machine many years ago that sat on a reel of tape untouched. We like to reference the archives when putting together a new record because you never know where inspiration strikes. We dusted this one off and thought we could really make this work. Everyone’s instrumentation fell right into the pocket, especially Gabe’s leads. Very proud of the crew. The song, to me, is about finding your place in the scheme of things - but really we’re just trying to have a good time.”

On the track, vocalist Parks says: "The dream for everyone is more. More money. More time. More everything and anything. We never get enough of enough. Our sole purpose seems to be chasing the satisfaction that never comes. So we work for our piece of the cake that pays for a home we’re only at when we’re asleep. Every day. Every week the same thing; a dream you have to be asleep to believe. Then you wake and wonder, 'why?'"
Los Angeles psychedelic/space rock band Hooveriii have announced the release of their new studio album 'A Round of Applause'.
The -track record will be out on July 29 through The Reverberation Appreciation Society and is available for pre-order here.
Prior to delving into A Round of Applause, the band had stuck to a routine of issuing about two releases a year (including singles, live albums, etc.). After the rise of a certain five-letter word that starts with a C, they realized that time really shouldn’t be taken for granted. Finding additional inspiration via Nick Cave, who once said that dabbling with new ideas continues to fuel his near-50-year career, the band decidedly took a different approach with their new album and gave themselves the freedom to explore in the studio.
