The Smoking Trees

 

The Smoking Tree's upcoming album release, Acetates

Direct from one of the original breeding grounds of Psychedelia,... Los Angeles, California; Arrives none other than The Smoking Trees!  This dynamic duo has cleverly combined: Hip Hop, Garage, Folk, 60's Psyche Pop, with intense but pleasurable amounts of reverb, echo and mellifluous harmonies, resulting in a sound so distinctive and unique, that comparisons to other bands are nearly impossible to draw. 




With lucid lyrics and vapory vocals, songs like: "In A Popsike World""Merry Go Maggie", "In Another Land", "Sunshine Everywhere", and their latest installment, "See", transports listeners on a trip without the need of luggage or dosage.  Euphoric, heady and atmospheric throughout, their spellbinding sound is sure to entrance and delight Psyche lovers.

The Smoking Trees "Changes In Perception" EP





 The Smoking Trees are comprised of Sir Psych and L.A. AL








Meet Sir Psych


Regarded by some as the King of the underground Psyche scene, Sir Psych has been a powerful force behind the bands magnetic sound.  A producer and multi-instrumentalist, Sir Psych lays down the traps, keys, effects, as well as the vocals for all of T.S.T. albums.



  Sprouts and buds in abundance, spring from the branches of The Smoking Trees.  In addition to releasing numerous albums, music downloads and running his own private label... Colour Tree Records, Sir Psych created numerous 60's Psyche Pop compilations for those who just can't get enough.





Wearing many faces and donning many hats, Sir Psych has rightfully earned his title as Psychedelic royalty.

Here's a link to Sir Psych's recent interview,
conducted by: The Active Listener



Meet L.A. AL



 L.A. AL's the quiet counterpart of The Smoking Trees but in the studio, his charismatic chops equipped with his ability to hit the coveted male high note, can send any harmony hound soaring into shimmering stratosphere. 




L.A. AL is also a multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, bass and loads of percussion.






L.A. AL with his pal Sir Psych, create the perfect color combo on their Colour Tree label.
