about

Two wiley eyed dude ranchers from Alabama embark on a psychedelic journey into the heart of the promised land: California. They immediately get ripped off while sleeping in a restaurant and must buy new shoes at Target. A strange force leads them to piss on the front steps of the church of Scientology in Hollywood. They grow hungry. Luckily a man named "Lemonade" offers them a ride to the purple desert where they find refuge in a large glass box that looks like a practice chamber for a Las Vegas magician. They have a photo session. Eventually they eat chicken adobo in a state of amazement. Horrified by every blue skied new town, they keep on truckin....trippin' balls on wall to wall sunshine and cryin'.This is the sound of THAT JOURNEY.

FM Radio is a new project by John Albea (Arabada) and Joel Nelson (Worst Spills, Silica Gel). Crunching out a catchy suite of songs with a minimal array of sounds including mangled guitar loops, electronic treatments and lyrical reverie, the duo's debut shines like true AM gold mixed with Stockhausen.

Their debut album has a loose travel narrative with washes of radio static and fractured transmissions that underscore the feeling of the world passing by the window while you're living in between the channels.
