Austin, Texas-based garage psych band Neon Lemon have released their sophomore full-length Hypnagogic Visions on vinyl, featuring six spacey songs that total a bewitching and transcendent trip of over 31 minutes. Look at the instrumentation of Ben Siebert (guitar, vocals, keys), Chris Bryant (guitar, lap steel, sitar guitar, keys), Shawn Cawley (synth, theramin, keys), Levi Murray (bass, sitar guitar, keys) and Cody Read (drums, percussion, saxophone), and you know what to expect. Indeed, this is a soundscape of fuzzy guitars, hypnotic percussion, swirling organ drones, and reverb-soaked, dreamlike vocals. The album’s rich beauty offers an atmospheric journey that feels both experimental and thoughtful.
Hypnagogic Visions, recorded by Neon Lemon & Jonas Wilson, is out digitally and on vinyl 10″ through Feral Child. Nice cover art by Jim Franklin.
