Carlton Melton to Release Night Pillers EP June 12

Let’s assume a night piller is one who pills at night. Whatever the case, Night Pillers, the new mini-LP from Carlton Melton, was recorded at the same time as the band’s 2020 offering, Where This Leads (discussed here), and it brings an ultra-diggable hypnotic half-hour of dream-laced exploration to bear across five tracks that, well, I’m only on “High Noon Thirty” so far and I’m board for wherever they’re headed. The trio are no strangers to setting their course into the farther reaches of “Far out, man,” and if you’re not up for taking the trip, so be it — they’re already gone.

The drift and drone here is resonant and mellow and if you can get on board now’s a good time. I’m sure they’ll do preorders and all that stuff. It’s a Record Store Day thing, 600 copies. I don’t even know if they’re gonna stream it, but oh it’s cool if you can catch it somehow some way.

    I’m not sure they will do pre-orders and stuff (I hope they will). My pre-order, from months ago, of Dirty Three’s Ocean Songs deluxe reissue was cancelled when it just recently became a Record Store Day release. I’m still hop[ing to get a copy. RSD is a mess in my experience, and often benefits the resellers more than those of us who just want the darn record.

    Reminds me of a slower ELDER. Good stuff
