Recording on 8-, 16- and 24-track, the band have deployed their usual psych-pop/harmony foundations but added extra dimensions to the sonic weave to create deeper, more visceral structures. Typical of past releases, the Lucky Bishops split the song writing and lead vocals four ways over an instrumental palette of Hammond organ, piano, chiming valve driven guitars, glutinous bass and flowing and tumbling drums. It's unlikely a finer psych-pop record will be released this year.

Mini-bio:

British pop-psych magicians The Lucky Bishops have been together for over ten years and have released two prior, critically acclaimed, albums on the Bevis Frond's Woronzow label (Rubric in the US) – a self-titled debut (2000) and "Grimstone" (2002). They've played at Terrastock festivals in London and Boston, SXSW in Austin Texas, shows in New York including CBGB’s, as well as many gigs at Alan McGee’s Poptones nights in Notting Hill in London and have toured Europe extensively. As Trouser Press put it: "the quartet of Luke Adams, Rich Murphy, Tom Hughes and Al Strawbridge come not from one of the urban centers of cool Britannia but from rural Dorset in the West Country. Their hook-laden blend of power-pop and neo-psychedelia pays close attention to the unfashionable concept of musicianship and shows an unfashionable range of influences that look beyond the often homogeneous and parochial sounds of the time."
