Premiere: Celebration – ‘Chariot’

Psychedelic rock 'n' soul from Baltimore...

For a band with such a joyous name, the story of Celebration is tinged with sadness. Springing from Baltimore's fetid, ambitious creative scene, the group's long, strange journey has reached a new twist.

Now working with Bella Union, Celebration's forthcoming full length 'Albumin' will be released on August 18th. An artful fusion of searing soul and lysergic psychedelia, this isn't some retro exercise – rather, the band seem to occupy their own space, a free-flowing fusion of influences.

Taken from the upcoming LP, new cut 'Chariot' is a great introduction to their world. Celebration recall the speckled psychedelic soul of Rotary Connection but with a raw, extremely fresh dynamism.

Check it out now.

Alongside this, a number of copies of 'Albumin' will come equipped with a fresh egg game inspired by the record's artwork. Check out an introduction to this game below and pre-order the album HERE.
