Ananda Mida Announce Tour Dates Starting Nov. 30; Reconciler Out Now
Mostly-Italian heavy psychedelic unit Ananda Mida just released their third full-length, Reconciler, through drummer Max Ear‘s own long-running Go Down Records imprint — and by long-running I mean there’s an anniversary fest coming up in Berlin on Dec. 1 to mark 20 years that Ananda Mida will also play — as the follow-up to 2021’s Karnak EP (review here). They’ve lined up a series of weekender-type dates between now and February in order to support the album, and they’ll be playing mostly in Italy but also Germany and Austria as they look to the start of 2024 and the possibility of more to come.
If you haven’t heard the record yet — it’ll be in the next Quarterly Review in a couple weeks — it’s streaming below in full, along with the lyric video for “The Stumbling Doll.” Whether you can make it to one of these shows or not, if you’re still reading this, you might at this point find the music worth your time.
To wit:

The new album “Reconciler “marks the final act of a trilogy inspired by Georges Ivanovič Gurdjieff’s book, “Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson,” and his profound thoughts. Originally planning to release three records, Ananda Mida’s founders, Max Ear and Matteo Pablo Scolaro, collaborated with artist and friend Eeviac to create a concept album trilogy. The first two albums in the series, “Anodnatius” and “Cathodnatius,” explored themes of Holy Affirmation and Holy Denial respectively. Now, with “Reconciler,” the band delves into the theme of Holy Reconciliation. During the making of “Reconciler,” one of the band members experienced both the joyous grace of birth and the deep mourning of death. These significant life events have greatly influenced the reconciliatory intent behind this record. With eight tracks spanning over 83 minutes of music, “Reconciler” showcases a diverse range of emotions and musical styles.
The album features an instrumental song titled “Reconciling,” while five other tracks are performed by talented singers. In addition to Ananda Mida’s core members, twelve artists from Go Down Records’ musical gang have contributed their talents to this record. This collaboration not only fulfills the band founders’ vision but also serves as a tribute to their independent label, which has been a hub for talent and passion over the past two decades. Ananda Mida’s sound is deeply rooted in 70s Rock, infused with desert and psychedelic grooves. Since their formation in 2015, the band has performed with various lineups, ranging from three to six members, both instrumental and featuring singers. Their unique blend of influences has garnered them a dedicated following within the Stoner and Psychedelic Rock community.
