NEONSTREAM is an experimental rockquintet, that emerged from the
rockband The Vagitamins at the end of 2010, the latter having existed
in that formation since autumn 2007 .
Keyboard and percussion have been added to the traditional trio
guitar, bass and drums.
Free improvisation is the corner stone to every one of the songs. Thus
the still (prog-)rock-based but experimental and dense
NEONSTREAM-sound, with its side-trips to psychedelic realms, is about
exploring the musical limits of the instruments in the footsteps of
noise, but also electronic approaches, fearless of stylistic excursion
to new musical shores.
Primordial Undermind's newest LP 'Last Worldly Bond' was released on
Strange Attractors Audio House in 2011, to rave reviews. Mining the
deepest regions of avant-rock for years, PU leader Eric Arn began in
the legendary Crystalized Movements (which spawned Magic Hour/Major
Stars). Primordial Undermind: from distorted, psychedelic overload
to full-blown free/drone rock, like a collision of Amon Duul II with
the Psychic Paramount and Bardo Pond. After relocating from Austin,TX
to Vienna, Austria, the band released the acclaimed 'Loss of Affect'
on Strange Attractors in 2006 and have been touring Europe and the UK
regularly. They have previous albums on Emperor Jones, Camera
Obscura, and September Gurls.
"Reverberating with primitive hallucinogenic drones, garage rock
grinds, and improvisations that slowly build from half-formed blowouts
to cosmic Stockhausen-style epics... PU have crawled out of the
psychedelic undergrowth and evolved into something special" - Edwin
Pouncey, The Wire
