Lo Sound Desert Documentary Releases July 1
Desert rock documentary Lo Sound Desert will see its official release July 1. Put together by Jörg Steineck — who also helmed the 2012 Truckfighters documentary (review here) — the film chronicles the origins and worldwide impact of California’s desert rock scene, which sparked a truly underground musical and aesthetic movement that continues through this day while being all but actively ignored by the wider mainstream. Lo Sound Desert‘s making seems to have been a painstaking DIY effort and a true work of passion on the part of Steineck, and so in my eyes is all the more respectable. I’ll look forward to seeing it.
Preorders are up now through Vimeo on Demand, and there will be details for release parties as well forthcoming. The following came down the PR wire:
