New Music : Lima Research Society

Even though I get out see well over 200 bands in a year somehow Lima Research Society still managed to skirt under my radar the past couple years that they’ve been out and playing around The Philadelphia/New Jersey/Northeastern US area.  And, had they not recently sent me a copy of their excellent debut full length album Don’t Give Up Don’t Get Down  they might sadly still be there. Their addictive sound is a potpourri of influences from soft folk, to prog rock musical acrobatics, to trippy psychedelica, to new wave dance and all points in between.  Often drawing comparisons to bands like Flaming Lips, they may be in the same genre, but are decidedly tracking their own original path.

In a very cool and artistic move, the first 100 copies of Don’t Give Up Don’t Get Down  were released as 2 separate 50-piece hand-painted murals, pictured here. Get a copy while you can.
