LSD And The Search For God

Heaven Is A Place - 2025 Reissue

    Over the years, LSD and the Search for God’s cult-like following within the underground psych/space/shoegaze community has remained as passionate as ever.

    'Heaven', '(I Don't Think That We Should) Take It Slow', and 'Elizabeth' showcase the band at their best—swirling, reverb-drenched guitar chords, intertwined with shimmering male/female vocals—while 'Outer Space' and 'Without You' slow it down a bit and throw hazy, psychedelic guitar riffs into the mix. The obvious comparison to the Creation Records sound in its heyday is appropriate, yet LSD have definitely taken that noise and made it all their own.

    LSD And The Search For God

    LSD And The Search For God - 2025 Reissue

      LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005 - seemingly from another place and time - dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built upon swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies. With reviews of early shows and recordings drawing comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, the band quickly developed a must-see reputation within the underground psychedelic music scene. When LSD finally released their self-titled debut EP it earned critical acclaim and continues to frequently appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases. LSD’s time and space travels have led them all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including tours with Martin Rev (Suicide), Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), and The Telescopes, as well as appearances at Levitation–Austin Psych Fest, SoCal’s Desert Daze, Manchester’s Cosmosis Festival (with The Jesus and Mary Chain), Bathysphere (with A Place To Bury Strangers), twice at Desert Stars (first with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, then The Dandy Warhols), Calgary’s Garbage Daze, and Portugal’s Reverence Valada (with The Damned, The Oh Sees, and Silver Apples).

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Barry says: Fuzzy OG shoegaze, with barely audible vocals and reverb-washed guitars forming a backdrop for the euphoric key changes and soaring bursts of melody that shine through the darkness. Gorgeous, intense and criminally unheard.
