Don’t sweat it if you see something waving in the distance — that’s just the collective freak-flag representing the right-on psychedelia proffered by San Francisco trio Carlton Melton. The improv-specialist instrumental three-piece have a new three-song EP titled Hidden Lights due Aug. 25 from Agitated Records that’ll be released on limited vinyl and “unlimited download” — I like that — as the follow-up to their 2015 outing, Out to Sea. They have a new video for the title-track streaming now.

The PR wire has it like this:

CARLTON MELTON announce new EP ‘Hidden Lights’ on Agitated Records & share title track video

Artist: Carlton Melton
Title: Hidden Lights
Label: Agitated Records
Format: 12″ / DL

Release date: 18th August ’17

San Francisco tripmakers-supreme Carlton Melton return with a new 25 minute-plus three track 12″ EP for Agitated Records, their first release since their widely received 2LP “Out To Sea” in 2015 and, indeed the accompanying 2016 RSD “Aground” 12″ release.

Hidden Lights is the first missive from recent recordings undertaken once again at El Studio with the watchful engineering and collaboratory help of Phil Manley (Trans AM / Lifecoach / Fucking Champs). Phil throws in some slinky guitar moves that help make the Carlton Melton Magick Karpet soar… John McBain (Evil Acidhead /Monster Magnet /Wellwater Conspiracy ) also guests on keyboards, and has once again mastered the ’Melton’s sike-adelic-drone to perfection.

The band CARLTON MELTON formed along the Mendocino County coastline in Northern California on the weekend of July 17th, 2008. The idea to play live, loud, improvised, experimental, instrumental, psychedelic music in a geodesic dome had been discussed for many years prior to this date. The opportunity came to fruition after the dome was completely rebuilt and the acoustic sounds inside were fully realized.

It is understood this music is not for everyone. If you prefer top-notch, modern day production and crafty songwriting you may want to stop here. If you prefer old SST label cassette tapes or an early Spaceman 3 cassette you recently found wedged in the back seat of your car you may dig some of this… or perhaps you like to listen and gaze at an old David Crosby LP now and then. 

Released on 500 12″’s or unlimited DL!!!

Take a trip to the hidden lights… immerse…
