May 2, 2012: Echo Mountain by Vum.
Vum is an art rock/psych/prog/minimal synth band from L.A. I don’t know much about them other than that their second (and newest) album, Night Sun, was playing in a bar I was just at, and it was really good. Oh, and Henry Rollins says, “I recommend it.” Check out this amazing psychedelic track from Night Sun.
VUM POSTER NOW AVAILABLE: Hand silkscreened, 11”x 17” poster (edition of 50), featuring original artwork by Christopher Badger. Comes with free download of “Night Sun” by VUM.

VUM’s “SAVAGE” VIDEO Premiere on Amoeba.com!
Prism-Beast under the NIGHT SUN
April 11, 2012, Noon
Secret Lodge Recordings is very excited to announce the premiere of VUM’s new music video, Savage, on Amoeba’s well-loved music blog, http://www.amoeba.com/blog/, next Wednesday, April 11th, 2012! Set in L.A.’s deep canyons, Savage’s psychedelic hunt tracks the unlikely pairing of man and prism-beast through craning oaks, lush fields, and optical illusion. This concept was envisioned by Los Angeles filmmaker Michael Frost who has been working with the duo ever since he fell in love with their first album, Strange Attractor.
The haunting LA Noir sound of VUM echoed from the stage at Amoeba Hollywood on Monday 3/12. See the rest of the photos here.
Free download of “Savage” by VUM.
Recorded in the canyons of the west coast and the jungles of the South Pacific, Night Sun
is soaked in VUM’s unique brand of cinematic noir featuring deep, powerful vocals,
psychedelic guitars, dark wave synths, and thumping Suicide-esque drum machines; all
this intertwined with manic field recordings of jungle choked latitudes. This limited vinyl
pressing is currently being devoured by listeners all over the world, and is going fast.
