cosmonauts - persona non grata

BURGER RECORDS and SPOT ON SOUND are way STOKED for their newest release, the third album by orange county's garage psych wunderkinds, COSMONAUTS!!!!!!  the new lp, PERSONA NON GRATA, finds the band hitting their stride, taking on the greats and composing some of the best hazy reverb heavy jams around.....

on PERSONA NON GRATA, COSMONAUTS are taking their love of JAMC, SPACEMEN 3, MERCURY REV, SIMPLY SAUCER, MICHAEL YONKERS, the VELVETS and BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE to whole new druggy, spaced out radiant levels.......putting them in the top notch ranks of fellow COSMIC PSYCH travelers THE OH SEES, BLACK ANGELS, NIGHT BEATS, HOOKWORMS, UFO CLUB and the WARLOCKS.......  needless to say if yer looking for some droned out, fuzzed up RnR to blast way into 2014, you need not look further than PERSONA NON GRATA....!!!!!   

there's a whole lotta psych bands out there these days,
but the COSMONAUTS are one band you definitely don't want to miss out on........
     super recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET READY FOR SOME LYSERGIC VIBES AND
LISTEN BELOW TO PERSONA NON GRATA -
   and grab a copy here from BURGER !!!!



ps see the tour poster at the top of the post and don't miss yer chance to see 'em live!!!!!!!

cosmonauts - lazerbeam ep

COSMONAUTS are back with another killer slab of vinyl this time on austin's REVERBERATION APPRECIATION SOCIETY.... the new ep is entitled LAZERBEAMS and it's four tracks of absolutely fuzzed out psych garage bliss.....  just as good, maybe even better than their previous efforts on BURGER and PERMANENT.......

you'll wanna grab this super limited hand screened 7 inch before it's gone....

LISTEN TO THE WHOLE EP BELOW if you need convincing, but anyone who's into TY SEGALL, THE OH SEES, THE NIGHT BEATS and BLACK ANGELS should definitely be into the COSMONAUTS......  and anything they put out is highly recommended........

up and comers- cosmonauts

Cosmonauts - S/T lp - Permanent Records' 24th label release! -  Cosmonauts are Orange County's premier garage psych group and they're barely old enough to drink legally. These kids have only been making music together for a short while, but they've already shared stages with and are garnering comparisons to well-known garage and psych acts like Black Angels, Ty Segall, and Thee Oh Sees. Although Cosmonauts share some similar influences with these groups, their sound is much grittier, more repetitive, and more Spacemen 3 influenced. Cassette tape tastemakers, Burger Records, released the Cosmonauts debut on tape back in 2010 and now it's available on wax for the first time courtesy of Permanent Records. Fans of the aforementioned bands will absolutely be calling themselves Cosmonauts fans before the year is out.


the burger records tape is sold out and i have a feeling the permanent records lp will be gone soon too.....don't miss out........

check out this live set @ burger records below......





and here are a couple more videos, just in case yr not convinced......






and ps......if you live near LA, check them out at the permanent records LA store opening on june 4th....(yep you west coast kids get to have yr own permanent records store... it's just too cool to be in just one spot.......)

but i'm crossing my fingers that these kids will tour across the us, so everyone else gets to see them soon......
