"A great debut from San Franciscan quartet, Lumerians. The self-titled ep walks freely between pounding krautian rhythms, etherial harmonies and even touches of dub. The band take nods from just about every arena feeding into modern psychedelics; keyboards buzz, drums pound and atmospherics rise into murky clouds of dust. ...Really digging this vibe the whole way throughout." (Raven Sings the Blues)
"...Their sound is hypnotic, meandering, charged and yet contemplative; distorted washes of synth, supernal organ and vibraphone brushed across a cinematic sky of deep blue. Lumerians dispense with guitars, percolating their songs with occasional bursts of percussive thunder and vocals. It’s haunting, visceral stuff which really comes to a head, as it were, on the opening ‘Orgon Grinder’ – although all credit to the band too for the Urdog-like power-drive of ‘Corkscrew Trepanation’, which incidentally also has to be one of THE titles of the year so far..." (Phil McMullen, Terrascope Online)
"... Swept along by tides of swirling cinematics that deftly dip between sumptuous sheens of cosmically fried lazy eyed spectral ambient mantras themselves pulsing away like exotic mind evaporating montages dispersing delicately hallucinogenic vapours of lounge like down tempo trippiness a la Basil Kirchin and simultaneously at the polar end deftly creating monolithic head warping and hypnotic pearls of out there odysseys primed with hypnotic trip switches and coated in florescent glazes - make no bones about it this is a gem of a debut."
(Mark Barton, Losing Today)
In the year 2012, humanity will prove to itself that its consciousness is indeed in actuality a recorded medium being played back to itself and that the universe is merely a type of gigantic tape recorder that is stuck on auto-reverse. Long ago, before this machine was caught in its never ending loop, we existed as the co-creators of it and its purpose was intended to be the apotheosis of all energy allowing us to play within it for all infinity. Unfortunately, there were inconsistencies with the reproduction of the recording and key components were gradually lost as it was played numerous times, thereby eventually freezing it inside its circular revolution around itself. This realization of the falsity underlying all reality will result in the illusion of the 3 dimension dissolving and humanity will then be able to free itself from the bondage of the decaying tendency of time. Take heed of these words that I hath spoketh onto thee, for they concern the future of all humanity!!!
