Canadian jazzy Kosmische Psych dealers & collective cortex explorers NEW SINGLE + LP revealed

Telepathy. ESP. Thought transference. Ley line riding. Welcome to Possum’s Lunar Gardens: a psychic exploration of the collective cortex, the capture of cosmic energy and the alignment of astral flux. Possum's second LP Lunar Gardens will be released via Ideé Fixe Records on July 2nd.

Entirely self-produced and recorded in communal sessions outside city limits, the quintet of Brandon Bak, Tobin Hopwood, Patrick Lefler, Christopher Shannon, and Bradley Thibodeau intently explored new directions at the intersection of influence and intuition. Lunar Gardens’ only passing resemblance to the group’s 2019 debut Space Grade Assembly comes in the jagged guitar and driving rhythm of opening track Clarified Budder. As the LP veers into heretofore uncharted realms; jazz, komishe, funk, and psych all project forth in waves of cerebral creation.

• As the band delves into realms of garage-infused psychedelia, they continue to emerge with newfound rhythms and grooves to keep the sound fresh and invigorating. - Exclaim! (CA)
• 'The Hills' is an undeniable home-run, a guitar-driven tornado of twang that’s guaranteed to make anyone with an ear for an excellent riff look up from their phone. - New Noise (US)
• Possum impresses with their debut. Not only with regard to their ability to combine krautrock, psych, and sometimes even a lick of jazz, but above all the expressive ease with which they fire this at you in a jam-like way. - Dansende Beren (BE)
