MR.BISON to Release The Garden of Forgotten Dreams Sept. 25
Not a ton of details here as regards the album itself, but with a title and release date and word of a Fall tour to be announced later, neither would I call it nothing. The new MR.BISON record is called The Garden of Forgotten Dreams, and it will be out on Sept. 25 (my wedding anniversary; 22 years this year) in continued cooperation with Heavy Psych Sounds. As is the label’s wont, they’ve put a signing announcement out although presumably by the time the release date’s being announced and we’re a week out from preorders, the actual ‘re-sign’ took place months ago, but while it’ll be another week until probably there’s cover art, a tracklisting and a first single to go on, I’ll take what’s being given for today. Certainly I’ve made ‘an album is happening’ posts with less.
I consider myself very fortunate to have seen MR.BISON at the start of last year at Planet Desert Rock Weekend V (review here), as doing so gave me a deeper appreciation for the crafted melody that’s part of their psychdelic rock. Their last record was 2024’s Echoes From the Universe (review here), which left no doubt of their ongoing progression, and I look forward to hearing how they’ve pushed themselves in the interim. A Richard Behrens mix probably isn’t going to hurt either.

The band released the latest album “ECHOES FROM THE UNIVERSE” in february 2024 via Heavy Psych Sounds playing around all over Europe, a great US West Coast Tour and the UK, more than 120 Gigs and Festival.
