"Emcompass folk, psych, sitars, backwards guitar solos, hip hop...weird and brilliantly so." NME 

After releasing debut albums by two young Nashville bands, The Paperhead and The Sufis, Ample Play Records turn their attention to LA with The Smoking Trees.

“The always ample and amazing Ample Play Records brings us the next phase of the post-Brian Jonestown Massacre generation with The Smoking Trees. The 60's psych scene is alive and well with the Smoking Trees, and "Persuaded Rendezvous" becomes an indie pop look at how that translates today, and it's from the album Acetates due out on May 6. The Smoking Trees are from LA, and consist of Martin Nuñez aka Sir Psych and Al Rivera aka L.A AL.”  The SpaceLab Music Website

"Ample Play, masters at unearthing the world’s weird sounds” NME Magazine 

"Ample Play is truly a label of love, bringing you new rock in the great explorer's tradition of Elektra, Island and Apple." David Fricke, Rolling Stone, USA


Both Tjinder & Benedict are avid record collectors, who met when they both studied at Preston Polytechnic.  Tjinder became the Union Social Executive whilst Ben went to London to work in a vinyl record pressing plant.  As Cornershop took off and developed, so did the amount of Turbans they had to wear, and Ample Play Records is the culmination of all that work and experience, backed by freedom & enjoyment, with 'Music 10 Commandments'.
