Black LP limited to 300 copies. After decades as a cult footnote of the 1980s neo-psychedelic revival, the United States of Existence return with Lavender Glory Trip -- their first new album since their early recordings. Once separated by geography, careers, and time, the band's unlikely reunion was sparked by a rediscovered unfinished song from drummer Gary Schwartz. What began as a solo project evolved into a full-band collaboration, made possible by modern recording technology and renewed creative chemistry. Lavender Glory Trip blends classic elements like Mellotron, sitar, and fuzz guitar/bass with expansive homemade production. Drawing partly from archival fragments and partly from new material, the album embraces experimentation, spontaneity, and even surrealist techniques. Its title and artwork reflect a collage-like approach, merging contrasting moods and themes, including commentary on conflict and human cycles, resulting in an album that honors their psychedelic roots (Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Association) while pushing into new sonic territory (sunshine/baroque/harmony pop). Includes insert with liner notes by Richard Allen and download card.
