“Effervescent chamber pop that’s all but guaranteed to leave the listener in a better mood” -Northern Transmissions

“Upbeat melodies and insightful songwriting, arranged with elements of world music, psychedelic rock, sampled sound effects and percussion loops.” -East Bay Express

On their new LP, Paradise, the San Francisco-based band led by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Simi Sohota offers more than just sonic escapism. The album, written and recorded over the past two tumultuous years and produced by Sean O’Hagan (known for his work in Stereolab and The High Llamas), finds Sohota processing the often overwhelming deluge of stress, frustration, and despair that’s become a part of modern life. But rather than being completely deflated, he pushed Healing Potpourri’s sound in new directions, blending warm electronics and elements of vibrant psychedelia into something that’s as eclectic as it is instantly enjoyable

Mister Moonbeam “One man’s quest to master a whimsical expression of meticulous craft and vivid imagination.

Imagine Kumaji, the eight-armed boiler keeper from ‘Spirited Away’ with a Willy Wonka aesthetic doing his best to mimic the sound of Crazy Horse circa 1969 by playing all the instruments simultaneously.

After a near-death-experience left him with a ‘build it and they will come’ directive to express and share the now-constant soundtrack in his head, Mister Moonbeam charted a course to reconcile these new developments.

The result is a bizarre and exquisite one-man music machine: For the left foot he constructed an octave of bass pedals with gem-shaped keys and built-in lighting. The right foot toe-taps out each individual drum sound on the pads of a sampler bolted to half a dress shoe. The Magic Flute is a proprietary lead instrument that sounds alternately like a trumpet, accordion, synth, or whatever the song calls for. All this serves as the backing band for a guy with a guitar singing equally crafted folk-rock-ish songs with the urgency of a man on a mission.

After six years and thousands of hours of intensive training Mister Moonbeam is ready to roll his whimsical jalopy out of the wood shed and into the world.”

Los Perdidos - Arcata based duo sharing songs of love and revolution.
