Gama Sennin, The

The Gama Sennin

Double 180 gram clear blue vinyl cut at 45 speed, gatefold sleeve with 2 inserts. Cut by Bob Weston. Pressed at Third Man Pressing. Printed at Stoughton Printing. Merging wide-ranging song craft with magic, mystery, and magnificently realized ambition, THE GAMA SENNIN arrives with a striking breadth of vision that immediately places them among contemporary psychedelic rock's most beguiling and inventive new artists. The brainchild of frontman Kevin McGuire, the California-based band fuses alternative energy, psychedelia, expansive desert grooves, and spaced-out prog into a pulse-pounding, mind-bending original sound, simultaneously capable of both transcendent power and searing emotional range. It is 21st century psychedelic rock without boundaries or limits, simultaneously exalting the genre's kaleidoscopic past while propelling it ever further into the future. The album seamlessly traverses what McGuire explains as "the journey into madness, into the darkness, into the descent that is the destruction of your ego" before ultimately arriving at "a new dawn, the push through the darkness to the final shedding of skin to become this better version of [one]self." To create THE GAMA SENNIN, McGuire was aided and abetted by an all-star cast including GRAMMY winning engineer/producer Peter Franco (Daft Punk), bassist John Avila (Oingo Boingo), drummer Adam Maples (Earthlings?/Sea Hags), guitarist Dimitri Coats (OFF!/Burning Brides), GRAMMY nominated keyboard player Chris Caswell (Daft Punk/The Muppets), and a special appearance by David Catching (QOTSA/The Desert Sessions). The result: an elaborate 10-song suite of exceptional psychedelic adventurism. Presented in three movements inspired in part by Brian DePalma's 1974 classic Phantom of the Paradise and Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
