Ultra-prolific celestial psych folk wanderers MV & EE are gearing up to wander right on through North America’s roads less traveled this summer. The Vermont-based core duo of MV (Matt Valentine) and EE (Erika Elder) are hitting the road with Mick Flower (bass/guitar), Carson “Smokehound” Arnold (drums/electronics), and Herbcraft (low end theory) for a string of dates in the US and Canada. The band also headlines Asheville, NC’s Inner Mountain Festival, an evening of performances curated by MV & EE, featuring the likes of Samara Lubelski, Willie Lane, Dredd Foole, the Michael Flower Band, Herbcraft, and Von Himmel.
MV & EE and friends will be repping their latest release, Space Homestead, out now via Woodsist. The band already has 30+ albums already under their collective fair-trade Indonesian beaded witch belts, but Space Homestead is their first since 2009. The band is keeping it East Coast on this one, with brief jaunts into Quebec and Ontario. the whole things concludes in what promises to be the most magical place in America: Salem, MA’s 1794 Meetinghouse. Appropriate enough for people who make self-proclaimed “lunar ragas.”
