Laguna Meth - Laguna The Puma (Island)

This is a digital-only release on Island records for an album recorded ten years ago by LA’s Michael Laguna. It was originally planned for release on Go! Discs but fell into No Mans Land when the much-missed label went into liquidation. Now the music of the man who, as a teenager, tripped on LSD while perusing Jim Morrison’s and poetry (his childhood friend was the son of Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek) can finally be heard and – as you might expect – it’s a suitably modern, Flaming Lips-style take on quality psychedelia.
