GET IN THE VAN MAN, WE'RE GOING TO PLANET LIDDERS
The entirety of Side A is some heavy-asstral free rock/jazz cosmic fusion with Jeff Tobias guesting on saxophone and Drew playing hammered zither instead of guitar.
Side B is all songs, a little bit of heady pop, some cool ass vibraphone, and a loamy CSNY cover, as you do.
"Unquestionably one of the all time best records in the Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders discography. This is the kind of transportive sonic alchemy that can check off all of the right boxes for acid rock fans everywhere. Don’t miss out." - Record Crates United
"OH, MAN - THIS IS THE GOODS!!!! Seriously, thank you so very much for restoring my faith. Loving it." - Phil Terrascope
"The band, featuring members of Dire Wolves and Elkhorn has long been a staple around here and I can’t recommend this one enough. " - Raven Sings The Blues
"Once you get to Planet Lidders, you won’t have a care in the world. Just relax, key into the music, and let Jeffrey and his group carry you away." - The Third Eye
PLANET LIDDERS will be released publicly on cassette/digital in September on the excellent Worried Songs label in the UK.
