Acid King reveal new album details, share first single

Official press release:

Acid King, the pioneering heavy rock band fronted by the inimitable Lori S., return with Beyond Vision this March 24th on Blues Funeral Recordings, an album that sees the iconic San Francisco-based band lean into psychedelia and the avant-garde. Watch the video for "Destination Psych/Beyond Vision" exclusively on Revolver Magazine!

The 7-song, 43-plus-minute collection was recorded to two-inch tape courtesy of Dead & Company at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California. Acid King founder and guitarist/vocalist Lori S. worked hand in hand with Black Cobra guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian, with the pair sharing writing and production credits. The band is rounded out by Bryce Shelton (Nik Turner's Hawkwind) on bass and synthesizer, and Jason Willer (Charger, Jello Biafra) on drums.

On the new direction, Lori explains:

The band was never really that psychedelic, but this is definitely more trippy because we've got keyboards and synthesizers. That's something we've never had before on Acid King records. The songs really have no beginning or end — they all just flow into each other. It's meant to be listened to as one piece. The whole point was to have the listener feel like they're on a journey. If you put headphones on, it'll take you to whatever places you'd like to go to.

The record is based on the journey of life. Jason [Landrian] and I were having these heavy pandemic conversations at the practice space for two years, talking about all the stuff you go through being in bands, touring, your relationships in life, all that stuff. You think this trip is supposed to go one way, but it goes in very different ways that you can never imagine.
