silk lizard by shrimp olympics

"silk lizard" is the brand new full length by psych-rocking home recordist Austin Lombardo AKA shrimp olympics. The album is a psychedelic, progressive country-rock tapestry (among other things), well balanced by its smooth vs wild moments. Layered synth pads blend with crisp acoustic guitars, jazzy drums, electric leads, and beautifully effected vocals to create an ever-evolving soup of textures, melodies, and rhythms that surprise and delight the mind. Austin has created a masterfully written bundle of songs that are incredibly catchy and original, and "silk lizard" displays him in his songwriting prime. There is something new to find and appreciate in each fresh listen and I know you are going to absolutely love this album, especially if you're a fan of Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, R. Stevie Moore, and Sweetheart of the Rodeo-era Byrds. Happy listening! ~ Adam Wish-Werven, Bumpy Label
