It almost isn’t fair to have Light Pollution and Prince Rama tour together. Light Pollution’s biography mentions their “dazzlingly inventive soundscapes” and “subtle flourishes of pop-psychedelia,” whereas Prince Rama’s biography mentions that the members grew up on a Hare Krishna commune, recorded their new album in Kurt Vonnegut’s grandson’s cabin and a 135-year-old haunted church, and also worked with Avey Tare and Deakin of Animal Collective on said album.
Hmm, I wonder which band you’re going to be more interested in seeing live? Tough call, I know.
Either way, both bands will be teaming up this fall on the road together, with Light Pollution supporting their debut album, Apparitions (TMT Review), and Prince Rama supporting their new album, Shadow Temple (TMT Review). Perhaps Prince Rama can even help Light Pollution rewrite their bio in between tour stops.
