My Sleeping Karma to Release Mela Ananda – Live Feb. 24
“Decade-long career.” I had trouble believing it, to be honest, so I went into my archive and checked and yes, it’s been 10 years since German heavy psych mostly-instrumentalists My Sleeping Karma released their self-titled debut on Elektrohasch. Somewhat astounding to think of what they’ve accomplished in terms of aesthetic across their five albums — the latest of them, Moksha (review here), came out last year — in that span of time, as well as the rate of releases they’ve managed to keep up. They are persistent and persistently creative. They’ve never put out a record that hasn’t moved forward from where they were previously. That in itself is to be admired.
Their first live outing, Mela Ananda – Live, will be out in February via Napalm Records and feels well earned. I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing them play, sorry to note, and I guess that’s one more reason to look forward to hearing this, but even as a summary of their first decade, I can’t find any argument against. Admittedly, as a fan of the band, I’m not looking that hard for one.
From the PR wire:
MY SLEEPING KARMA – Unleash Title, Artwork, Track Listing & Release Date Of Upcoming LIVE Album!
Please welcome MY SLEEPING KARMA`s first live record of their decade long career: Mela Ananda – Live! This is wildly appropriate!
If you’ve been lucky enough to be a part of the live experience that this German four-piece unleashes, you’ll agree that the concert atmosphere provides a healthy dose of enchantment for their much-loved brand of psychedelic rock. Today the stunning album artwork, track listing & release date have been unveiled.
The incredible detailed artwork is the great work of Sebastian Jerke. Mela Ananda – translates directly to “a gathering of bliss” – will be released on February 24th 2017 via Napalm Records.
