about

With Alice, Meatbodies return ascending toward ground level. A “heavy-pop” concept, metal on molly. Chad Ubovich, Patrick Nolan, and Kevin Boog step out in new form, soaring through diverse stories, tones, and characters. Dancing between quiet and loud, funk and doom, pop and noise. Their message preached is celestial and deafening, a sacred scripture for today’s world: a warbling rhodes piano, a liquifying electric guitar, a ghostly synthesizer skating across the sands of a twelve-stringed acoustic.
The band digs deep into the rich soils of Earth to reveal the chaotic sensual vibrations underneath the fields we walk upon. Connecting our limbs, our mouths, our consciousness to the microcosms of the grime, all while being lit by black light. Captured wriggling and alive in San Francisco by Ubovich and Eric Bauer at The Bauer Mansion, this album is a step in the right direction, a new direction, a new way of thinking.
Watching the futures, watching the world burn.
“Ubovich intones with a spaced-out, reverb-heavy delivery like a garage-punk Syd Barrett.” —LA Weekly

about

Meatbodies Los Angeles, California

Meatbodies was from the mind of Los Angeles rocker Chad Ubovich, a long time fixture on the California garage punk and neo - psychedelic scene. Meatbodies’ guitar-heavy sound is as hard-hitting as the best punk while also brimming with bent, pop-friendly melodies. 2024’s Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom is Meatbodies’ most ambitious, varied, and realized record to date—and possibly their finest hour. ... more

Metamorphosed
by Osees

supported by 22 fans who also own “Alice”

For what is effectively an outtakes album (the first three tracks being from the sessions for 'Face Stabber'), "Metamorphosed" doesn't fuck about in any sense of the word. Said first three tracks get your shit pumping hard; 'Saigant' especially is a god-tier starter. The following 37 minutes after that (moreso alluding to 'I Got A Lot' here) is purely "yeah, we love CAN; here's our take on a Tago Mago-style jam". Two complete polar opposite extremes, and yet they work together magnificently. Xtra Happy

A Foul Form
by Osees

supported by 20 fans who also own “Alice”

Avant noise godhead punk of the highest order. "A Foul Form" is a surreal album that will take you on an unexpected acid power trip through the lost avenues of early '80s punk. It's weird. It's wild. It's outta site. bcb723
