Carlton Melton - Out to Sea [Colored Vinyl]

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 album from the Northern California indie rockers. The voyage is long, the voyage is joyous. Out to Sea is the most focused of all Carlton Melton's recordings to date. Leaving their geodesic dome behind, they hitched their magick karpet to San Francisco's El Studio for a fried weekend in July 2014 with The F***ing Champs / Trans Am's Phil Manley at the production helm (and occasionally contributing to the furor-Manley plays guitar on "Similarities" and synth on "Peaking Duck"). Out to Sea sees Carlton Melton expand the psychedelia and free out-rock sound of their previous output to its furthest horizons. Huge rhythms, outta space riffage, sparkling synths, pastoral passages, searing shards of molten guitar, smothered ambience and gentle guitar-picking all flow together into waves of sound to lap at the shores of your senses. We're gonna need a bigger boat.
