***Rock Sutra is the new space-rock album from SUN ARAW. Space: and how to make it, "Roomboe," the first track, illustrates this process. Experience is elastic. Rock Sutra features four tracks. "78 Sutra" is about oribital motion. "Catalina" is about taking a walk. "Arrambe" is about a peculiar feeling you get when you zoom in far enough.

***"The World of Shells is an Elemental integration, of water and desert aesthetics that invents an ectoplasmic being. The disc that you hold in your tentacles, has inside of it, ingredients that can lead you to the meaning of this being. Beyond its aesthetic look, this being, holds the power and understanding one can be granted from existing in its skin. To put in no uncertain terms, 'The Shells' is an advanced magico bio-system that reveals the nature of being something else. Of being something other than human, but of earth. Existentialsim with an amphibious exo-skeleton. To make this experience happen, SPENCER CLARK, formerly of THE SKATERS and MONOPOLY CHILD STAR SEARCHERS, went through a detailed set of episodes, which included psychic photography, traveling to specific spots of real life fantasy (Australia and Sicily), and learning of the behavior of geckos and black holes. The music's nature is that of the expression of experiential landscapes. Like a holodeck, the experience of the visual and audio art in this disc is meant to invent a simulated encounter. For the participant, they will find, a hallucinated catalog of real and unreal events, that are a diary of a world of beyond, 'The World of Shells'..."

***CHECK STOCK!!! Received a 7.5 rating from Pitchfork. S. ARAW "TRIO" XI is a new configuration of the SUN ARAW BAND, the live-action collaborative branch of Sun Araw. Over the course of several studio dates in Hollywood, California, "Trio" players CAMERON STALLONES, ALEX GRAY and MITCHELL BROWN successfully planted a garden of "non-dimensional" objects, not only spontaneously generating these objects but also mastering their nurture and cultivation. Gazebo Effect is a 2xLP nocturnal stroll into the depths of the garden, its upper lawns and outbuildings. (STREET DATE - 6/23/2015)

***Belomancie is the seventh full-length album from SUN ARAW. is a series of corridors that lead to specific chambers. Belomancie is designed to be an active listening experience. Belomancie is not designed to accompany existing environments, Belomancie is designed as a transportation system. It is recommended to give Belomancie your full attention, and to listen at the highest volume that is comfortable on high quality speakers with a pronounced stereo field or on an excellent pair of headphones. Interference is physicality. When faced squarely, each chamber produces a particular physical effect capable of causing a simple thing: an experience of discontinuity. Hot Jobs! Composed, performed and produced by CAMERON STALLONES, Los Angeles, Summer 2013.

***BACK IN PRINT!!! Received a 7.9 rating from Pitchfork. Heartfelt and marbled, SUN ARAW’s new album is documentation of the slow exit (the triumphal entry): moving the camera back 8 stages along the circumference of the circle to the point where the obverse is reverse, in order to celebrate the building of an edifice and then walk away from it in wisdom, gaining freedom from it.

”Sun Ark” is the new 7" from cosmic explorer Sun Araw "Live Mind" is the dubby, hazed b-side, which the label calls "a cool new boat trip on an evolved vessel." We’re not quite sure what that means and prefer to think of it as a “leisurely, pond-tripped excursion around some dank space-jungled island on the aforementioned futuristic ark.” Typically dope cover art by Cameron Stallones himself.

2010 REMASTERED EDITION!!! Originally issued in a limited pressing in 2008, Beach Head is a release of sunburnt affection for a place that has since submerged: a coastal constellation of friends and energies that still slosh and burn through dimensions just above our perceptual apparatus. These are the coordinates, should you want to go: “Thoughts Are Bells” opens in séance before easing back into full Florian blossom. “Horse Steppin’” is a love song to Neil Young’s six-string gateway: sunblushed and indulgent, persistently burning. “Beams” builds a bridge between Marconi Notaro and Long Beach, and throws an underwater groove party in the midst. “Bridal Filly” pushes the sun under the horizon with a mountain of vocals; unfailing love glowing at its center: a marriage song. As the inaugural release on Sun Ark Records, Beach Heads has been remastered at the legendary Dubplates & Mastering in Germany, and has been imprinted onto 180-gram vinyl, these tunes have never sounded this good. UK import.

***On Patrol is a double album in two parts, and the fourth full length album from SUN ARAW, following 2009’s Heavy Deeds. An album for heavy-steamin' late nights in the city, inter-dimensional back alleys, ghost cabs, and midnight-sweat locker rooms, it creeps and tunes in on a much darker, sparser, and more classically minded channel than its predecessors: dark and deep steam-vent ruminations on Philip Cohran, lenticular objects, and fried Hot 92.3 R&B slow-jams. Eschewing liner notes, Sun Araw has subtitled each track to let the listener know exactly where they are in hopes of recruiting more explorers as would-be enforcers. UK import. Received an 8.1 rating from Pitchfork.

***It’s been a while since The Lantern shined its High Beams out into the world but life’s a maze of alternate paths (marriage, children, Portland Oregon, etc.) and that’s just the way it goes/went. Fortunately for all lovers of heavy male psych brotherhoods the MAGIC LANTERN gang convened back in 2009 before parting ways temporarily to track their second full-length, Platoon, and here it is. As oughta be expected, it's a monstrous hot-rod cruise into screaming dual wah distortions powered by the poker faced GAVIN/CHIP rhythm section and splattered with jazzy freak-out organ and the occasional CAMERON STALLONES echo yelp. Featuring most of their live classics from the pre-hiatus era (“Dark Cicadas,” “Friendship,” etc.) and tracked/mixed by BEST COAST’s BOBB BRUNO, this fills the hole in yr heart left by High Beams. Black vinyl LPs in classic National Geographic photo collage jackets designed by Cameron Araw. Mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN.

***After far, far too long lost in the merch-less dark, the LBC’s most married band, MAGIC LANTERNS, finally beam down the blinding full-length psych-statement we always knew they had hidden inside. It only took the Southern California sector a single five-song demo plus a handful of incense-dense komische live flights to fully fall under the spell of ML’s oncoming headlights, but now the rest of the globe can hop on the band’s wild wagon. Hold on. High Beams throws out the total 20-sided die of the their illuminative powers, from stomping, storming show staples through to Sun Araw-vibed chime trancers and even a good time acid-addled feedback boogie. These are all of the Lanterns’ classic long-form anthems, captured in glorious high-def thanks to BOBB BRUNO’s attuned production/recording capabilities and a radiant mastering job courtesy of JAMES PLOTKIN. The riffs rip, the drums destroy, and the organ burns a hole in the sun. Walk into the light. Black vinyl LPs (with full color center labels) in glossy jackets with flag photography by CAMERON & ERICA STALLONES, plus a fried-eyed, full-color 11x17 poster. Edition of 500.
