Twenty five years ago, Dallas' most famous psychedelic rock trio, Lithium X-Mas, broke up after a long, storied run that included 17 album and single releases.
Lithium X-mas members Chris Merlick, Mark Ridlen and Greg Synodis have a new album that picks up right where the group left off in 1997., broke up after a long, storied run that included four album releases. It turns out that it wasn't a death for the band, just a lengthy coma that helped the members rest up and rejuvenate.
Lithium X-Mas found a unique penchant for distortion and released its first album the following year. The band toured around town and even the country once, sharing stages with Sonic Youth before hanging up its noisemakersThe new album picks up right where the group left off all those years ago. The term"psychedelic" is too general in terms of the band's concept. They aren't making noises to fuck with your head but to explore the musical space.
Another staple of Lithium X-Mas's discography, like all great punk and experimental acts, is covers. Great covers do more than just spit a familiar song back at you and play with the sound to create something new out of something old. The choice of covers is also key. Any two-bit punk garage band can turn whatever bubblegum pop cover of the day into something loud and screeching simply out of a healthy dose of disrespect for the mainstream.
"Angel Angel Down We Go" is the theme song of a campy 1969 crime drama of the same name in which a stereotypical movie rocker who feels like a cross between a Jim Morrison impersonator and Dick Shawn's L.S.D. from Mel Brooks'wrecks a wealthy, suburban family's idyllic life.
