Bohemian Mechanics

@lassospells

Lasso Spells breathes new life into old-school sounds, swirling together a range of influences — including garage rock, '60s and '70s psych, and cosmic country into music that nods to the past while still pushing forward. Lasso Spells was formed in 2015 by Brett Dudash. In 2016, the Brooklyn-based label Cold Fantasy introduced the Lasso Spells sound with the debut album Stuck In A Shape. Set to arrive in 2018, Bohemian Mechanics is a record of melodic, moody West Coast psych, filled with pop melodies, garage-surf guitars, pedal steel, amplified fuzz, reverb-heavy riffs, stomping percussion, and the steady swoon of Dudash's voice. Lasso Spells' Bohemian Mechanics may be rooted in the glory days of psychedelic music, but it isn't a call to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Instead, it's a call to awareness. This is Lasso Spells' most driven music yet, balanced equally between dark, hypnotic textures and sharp, song-based writing.

With date after date cancelled due to spiking Covid numbers, we finally made a move. Recording in pandemic times is a different experience to say the least. Though with the right precautions in place and an incredible team of @denneyfuller & @static_replica the experience @sunspell_records was well worth it. Can’t wait to keep moving forward on the third LP. (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6LWckBBxV/?igshid=i58hgkx9smcx
