LSD and the Search for God
-from San Francisco, CA
-LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005, dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built upon swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies.

As early reviews drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Spacemen 3, Yo La Tengo, and Sonic Youth, the band developed a must-see reputation within the underground psych and shoegaze scene.

LSD's self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion Records, 2007) sold out prior to its official release date. It continues to earn critical acclaim and frequently appear on shoegaze "Best Of" lists. It was twice reissued on vinyl (Deep Space Recordings, 2008, 2015), twice on cassette (Cellar Door Tapes, 2015), and tracks were featured on three compilations: Mind Expansion Vol. 1, M.E. Vol. 2, and Australian nugazer compilation Take Me on the Wildest Spree (Rubber Records/EMI, 2008).

LSD's second release, Heaven Is a Place (Space Age Recordings, 2016), captures a snapshot in time soon after Ricky Maymi (Brian Jonestown Massacre) temporarily joined the band on drums. Like the self-titled EP, Heaven garnered critical acclaim and frequented many Best Of lists. Pop Matters calls it, "a long-awaited sermon for the faithful and a blazing induction for new converts," while Primal Music says it's "another astonishing collection of five psychedelic stories glistening with the same spaced out ingredients that blew my mind way back in 2007."

A new record is currently in the works.
