THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Recorded at Zebulon in Los Angeles as a warmup for a show I had booked in Holland,” says prolific psych-rocker and Oh Sees leader John Dwyer about Live At Zebulon, the latest release from his experimental extracurricular ensemble Bent Arcana.
“What was meant to be a jumping point for the ‘first show’ ended up being a real burning set. A slightly more stripped-down version on the 10-piece band (for sake of ease) keeps it nice and concise. Nerves sometimes bring out these little lost jewels of which this recording is full of … gotta love improvisation for fleeting moments. Recorded super-hot by none other than our sound person Liza Boldyreva. Selections of songs from Bent Arcana and Moon Drenched. Cockpit stoned space jazz here you come. Mixed by John Dwyer and mastered by JJ Golden.”
