We’re excited to announce that, this spring, we will be able to present you with nine sparkling new tracks. We’ve been sweating in the music mines this past year in order to bring you only the most finely-crafted psych rock. We’ve spent months blasting out the best rhythms and digging up pure tones. We’ve sifted out all of the loose beats and tumbled away the rough chords. Eric Oppitz has selected only the most fiery cuts guaranteed to mesmerize.

We are also very stoked to announce that our new album will be available in Europe through Spain’s Mongolic Records, so hopefully friends across the pond won’t have to spend more on shipping than on the actual record. More information will be forthcoming as we get closer to the pressing date.

Its fall and you know what that means. Its Echo Fest season. This year is shaping up to be the best one yet!

12 Bands on two stages filled with swirling lights, fuzzed out guitars, and of course so much delay that time travel may become possible.

Each attendee will receive a free pair of diffraction glasses which separates light into huge rainbow star bursts to transform the already trippy light show into the the most intense visual experience of your life.

Don’t forget to RSVP to the events page (here) to receive discounted tickets at the door.

Elephant Stone (Montreal)
Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor (Detroit)
Dead Leaf Echo (Brooklyn)
The Witches (Detroit)
Plastic Crimewave Syndicate (Chicago)
Rogue Satellites (Detroit)
MOSS FOLK (Milwaukee)

So this is what is left of our practice space after being completely gutted. We took on about two feet of water due to all the rain and recent flooding in the Detroit area. We managed to save a majority of the gear but are still sorting through things. Please send positive vibes or better yet send us drugs and beer!

We’ve been talking about it for… what, two years now? But we’re finally (really) about to start recording our third full-length! (No, seriously this time!)

Wow, that was one hell of a tour. Ten killer shows bookended by Austin Psych Fest and opening for legendary psych rockers Loop in our home town. We were pumped to receive such a great response to all the new material we were testing out. It was fantastic to see so many of our good friends we have made over the years and to add that many more new ones to our family. Thanks to everyone that came to one or more of the shows (there were quite a few of you), bought merch, gave us a place to crash, or most importantly bought us beer! We will be holding up in the studio for the next few months to finish our new record and will be on the road as soon as its complete.

Love, Sisters

So the bad news is that the Dr. Disc in-store with Dead Leaf Echo was cancelled due to some logistical issues outside of our control. Sorry, Hamilton folks. Us and Dead Leaf Echo will still be playing at The Casbah in Hamilton on Sunday night, and the show at Smiling Buddha in Toronto is still on for tomorrow.

The good news is that we have a new way for you to give us money. We finally actually added content to the Bandcamp page we set up a few years back. You can listen to both Spectra Spirit and our out-of-print self-titled album now at . You can also give us a couple dollars if you’re so inclined. We will use that money to buy beer and weed record the next album. Thanks for checking us out and being dudes!
