Magic Lantern + Zak Riles + Stag Hare

3 records I picked up on too late for '08 but am completely absorbed in right now. They all share a similar transportive beauty that's good for rearranging your head space.

Magic Lantern High Beams
"Catus Raga"
A chooglin' barn burner of acid drenched wah & feedback, hypnotic drumming and organ blast.

Zak Riles s/t
"Sand/Silk Rd Origin"
Superb mediatative space drone from Grails' guitarist. A slightly menacing tone gives the raga backbone.

Stag Hare Black Medicine Music
"Crystal Dust Dream"
A crystal-power droner that radiates with playful rhythms, rattling percussion, blissful dreamlike harmonica and organ.

Thanks to the hard work of Dave R., starting Thursday Jan. 22 we're calling Heathers Bar home. We're gonna get started a little later, so reset your mental clock to 9pm. That's when we press play.
