Gary Lee Conner: The Microdot Gnome LP Available to Preorder

Listening to Gary Lee Conner‘s 2014 first solo long-player, The Microdot Gnome, I can’t help but think of Masters of Reality at their psychedelic best. The manifestation is different, and Conner — best known as former guitarist for Screaming Trees — is way more acid-drenched on the whole, but there’s a similar affinity and clear, genuine passion for pioneering ’60s psych that comes through the deeply melodic and exploratory material that makes it an unabashed sunshiny joy to take on, as heard in the McCartney bounce of “Stained Rainbow” and the organ so prominently featured on “Moonflower.” I’d covered Conner‘s 2011 single, Low Flying Bird/Strange Hades (review here), released under the moniker of Microdot Gnome, but I guess not managed to keep up. He also had two full-lengths out last year in Jan. 2018’s Ether Trippers and October’s Unicorn Curry, so I guess I’ve got some work to do there. Noted.

The Microdot Gnome will be issued on vinyl through Vincebus Eruptum Recordings on Jan. 15. They’re only pressing 300 copies and preorders are up now. I hate to spend your money (actually I love it.), but I think if you take a listen to the Bandcamp stream of the album at the bottom of this post, the audio itself is the most compelling argument to get your order in before they’re gone. That’s all I’ll say.
