Any new offering by acid rock jammers, Jeffrey Alexander and The Heavy Lidders, is a reason to celebrate, but Liquid Donnon is straight up a godsend (but sent by an olde god of ancient pagan myths).

Available now through Feeding Tube records (and Riot Season Records in the UK) on transparent blue vinyl, CD and digital, this latest slab of mossy psychedelia finds the band twisting through meandering fuzzed-up kosmische zones, dreamy vibraphone-lead jazz-fusion soundscapes and riff-heavy shroomy freak outs. With Tacuma Bradley contributing soulful saxophone textures and a major living legend of the American experimental psych music scene, Cristina Carter, providing some haunting ethereal vocalizations, this is perhaps the Lidders at their most eclectic.

The record, when listened to as a whole, feels very much like an increasingly hallucinatory jam session rippling out from the fields of a hippie commune. This vibe is only further cemented by the inclusion of a cover of “The Summer Song,” by Swedish commune rockers, Träd, Gräs & Stenar, at the conclusion of the closing track, “Resavoir Drop.”

Heavy, murky and always deeply psychedelic in the truest sense of the word, Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders prove once again that they’re the best in the field of what lurks between the overlap of deep Dead improvisations and the headiest of Krautrock experimentation.
