The final record from Oakland, CA's psychedelic quartet, The Gris Gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where Greg Ashley resides. The twilight had come and the fat lady sang. The final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the Oaklandish psychedelic revolution. Here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. With songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the Gris Gris is here. Bright. Swirling. Gnarly. Electric.

Greg Ashley and his crew of Oakland, CA psychedelic troubadours have returned with their second full length of lysergic folk/garage/noise and it is truly sublime. “For The Season” delivers a twelve track sonic, acid-tinged web of sound that’s guaranteed to mesmerize, hypnotize and induce euphoria. Yep, it’s THAT good. For those not already hip Ashley’s music, he’s been playing disturbed, wild and extremely original rock music – with the Mirrors, as a solo artist and with his latest band, The Gris Gris – for years now. The band combines hushed, dreamlike, beautiful melodies, classic 60s garage rock and roll, droning noise, and out-of-control reverb to create some of the most intense, moody rock you're ever likely to hear. Equal parts 13th Floor Elevators, Velvet Underground, Skip Spence, Krautrock repetition and every volume of the Psychedelic Unknowns compilation series….it’s truly a haunting and otherworldly experience.

The debut Birdman release from this Oakland, California sound quartet led by psychedelic troubadour GREG ASHLEY. Nine tracks that rollercoast from the surreal goodness of Ashley's Medicine Fuck Dream to Can-flavored head-bobbing environments to that particular corner of garage rock featured on the Nuggets and Back From The Grave compilations. Blissful, distorted, undulating, and breathtaking rock'n'roll that will save some and rattle the rest.
