Triptides w/ Flaural
Triptides (LA)
https://triptides.bandcamp.com/
TRIPTIDES is a Los Angeles based psychedelic rock group led by multi-instrumentalist Glenn Brigman. It began in the summer of 2010 as a series of sun-drenched home recorded tape machine experiments. The band has since released six full length records and a number of singles and EPs. Their music dives through realms of sonic clairvoyance complete with melted guitars, swirling farfisa organs and vocals like
sunlight through the fog.
The bands latest record Visitors was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, with AllMusic calling it their best sounding record to date and LA Record describing it as an
expansive expedition into the undercurrent of the late sixties.
From international tours to performances at Desert Daze and Barcelona Psych Fest, the band has continued at a strong pace and shows no signs of slowing down. 2019 will see
the release of their new single Nirvana Now on Hypnotic Bridge Records and their return to Europe for another tour including several festival performances including Astral
Fest (UK) and Plisskën Festival (GR). They will also be touring the USA in September with stops at Lincoln Calling Festival and Back Alley Ballyhoo. The group will be teaming up with Brooklyn based Greenway Records for a new release in the fall
Flaural (Dever, CO)

Its rare that a band founded on pushing sonic boundaries is conscious of not alienating the listener. In the case of Denver-based rockers, Flaural, their music feels like the spoils of deep exploration, brought back down to earth for all to observe in traditional rock outfit form.
Flaural / flôrl / is the unified sum of four equal parts. The hypnotic pulse of Nick Berlins kraut rock drum grooves crystalize as the backdrop atop which sprawls the bands ethereal art-pop-songwriting. Connor Birchs expansive synths and keys, the unique virtuosity and aggression of Noah Pfaffs guitar playing, and the resonant croon of Colin Johnsons vocals and driving bass lines all coalesce into experimental psych rock that warmly invites the uninitiated listener into the unknown.
Following a string of EPs 2015s Thin King and 2016s Over Imaginary Cigarettes Flaurals debut LP, appropriately titled Postponement, has been three years in the making. Over those three years, the band has endured the struggles of being an unsigned touring act while playing countless shows across the United States and experiencing both communal growth and personal loss. Early pieces of Postponement were initially recorded while touring through the Bay Area at the now defunct Animal Room Studio, but the album arrangements didnt begin to take form until the band settled back in Denver and linked up with close friend and producer / engineer James Barone (Beach House, Tennis). Over the course of the next year and a half, the band found pockets of time to finish the recordings. Time becoming a central theme of the album as a whole.
On March 27th, 2017, frontman Collin Johnsons father passed away after a long struggle with ALS. The album cover serves as an homage to his passing an image resembling a clock with hands that read 3:27 and the albums first single, The Thinker, tells the story of his illness. The Thinker was originally written following his fathers diagnosis, with Johnson singing, Nobody likes when youre not well / Come up, come up, and feel better now. The songs lyrics were reworked after he passed, adding the line, Unanswered questions still haunt me. The emotional track ends with a dark, hectic, instrumental frenzy of piercing baritone saxophone squeaks layered over sporadic, aggressive guitar and driving drums.
The Thinker definitely set a tone for the album in the sense of hardship and having no way out but just dealing with the way things are, Johnson recalls. Trying times have no grace and that manifested as a recurring theme through the rest of album.
