man. this is so cool. i mentioned it before. the whole concept is a wonderful idea and fusing your various flavours together for this is really a joyful psychodelic sonic adventure!

a wonderful psychedelic collab.......with a fantastic musical progression and lovely vocals

where do I buy the album? I want it. and I want it now

We're back again with another installment in the ongoing SoundCloud collaborative concept album, 'Land of the ZED' !!

Stonerjazz, Uziel, and I developed this idea for a fantastical psychedelic concept album last Spring. We were joined by Francesca/Zed during our last episode (Johnny Sings the Blues) and all 4 of us came together again on this one. 

We've been really enjoying working on this collaboration and we hope you'll enjoy listening!

Lyrics:

(SJ)
DEEPER DEEPER DOWN THEY GO
PEEPERS PEEPERS SPYING IN THE DARK
STEEPER STEEPER EVERY STEP UPON THE TRAIL
SINGLE FILE IN LIGHT SO PALE

....
(U)
I'll turn the skies around
I'll go back up again
Hold on tight for this one
I'll escape into the sunlight
when will my dream start me?
Or maybe I'm just fine?
Welcome to a maladaptive daydream...

....
(SJ)
MONKEY'S HANGING ONTO MONKEY TAILS
HOTTER HOTTER AND IN THE MIDST OF THIS
THE TRAILS SPLIT, TURNED INTO TWO.
JONNNY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, JOHNNY DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.
THE CROWS SAY "LEFT" THE RATS SAY "RIGHT"
AND THEY BEGIN TO KUNG FU FIGHT.

....

mary
if you are real i'll marry you
if you are real i'll marry you

mary
you were easy to love
or maybe
your love dragged me down
mary
i should leave you alone
you are no dream that i own

mary
if you are real i'll marry you
mary
if you are real i'll marry you

....
(U)
I miss the razzle and dazzle
the trout and the smoke
and all the creatures running amok
I miss the sun's eyes
the moons in the skies
oh... I wish I could see it with you
but I'm stuck here
moving downward to the heart of the core
Zed...
I miss you... I miss you
I miss the razzle and dazzle
trout and the smoke
crows and the feathers all of their beads
rats in the leathers
the smoke and the feathers...
the smoke and the feathers...
