Home In The Morning by The Smoking Trees. Carefree and catchy summer psychedelia from this LA duo’s (producer Martin Nunez, aka Sir Psych, and multi-instrumentalist LA AL) forthcoming sophomore album. 

With years of hip hop production under my belt and with the addition of L.A.AL’s punk rock roots, it might be odd that we would become a psychedelic pop band. But with the knack of creating catchy tunes and an encylopedia of psychedelic knowledge built through years of collecting 60’s records, the blueprint for The Smoking Trees was designed. ‘Home in the Morning’, our first single from the new album, is a song about the comparison of life between a 20 year period. The youthfulness of night is reflected back through the years until today, which shows how life leads you into a totally different outcome from where you started from. - Sir Psych

L.A.’s The Smoking Trees make pleasurable soft-psych nuggets with low-key hip-hop undercurrents. Head below to drift away with “Trips,” a song from the new album TST.

Yokan System: new single & UK dates

"Yokan System generates a transparent daydream during their live sets, it transforms and merges with each of you." Taigen Kawabe (Bo Ningen)

“They sound so gloriously quirky and effervescent that you just simply can't help falling in love with them.” Little Indie Blog

Tokyo’s Mai and Tsukasa collectively known as Yokan System release a single from their forthcoming debut album ‘Whispering’.

Don't let the laid-back title ‘Whispering’ guide you - this is supermall music for earth people settling on Jupiter.  Electro indie at its freshest futuristic dragon!

4/5 Record Collector          5/5 Shindig Magazine        4/5 Mojo Magazine

“Together with amplified pop awareness and a tight running-time, these dozen tracks undoubtedly gush from a well-primed pump, but the songs are inspired, the atmosphere is well-judged and it coasts along with impressive adroitness.”  

A - The Vinyl District
