Sacramento’s psych-pop wild things Ganglians join San Francisco’s jangly shoegaze wonders Young Prisms in a bodacious bill.

Sacramento’s Ganglians return after a relatively quiet two years since their dual album dropping in 2009. The aptly titled “Still Living” hit the streets August 23rd stateside via Lefse, and August 29th throughout Europe via Souterrain Transmissions.

Ringing in at just under an hour, the double LP stays true to their psychedelic roots established on their self-titled debut and immediate follow-up “Monster Head Room” (both via Woodsist), they step it up a notch both stylistically and sonically by enlisting the help of producer Robby Moncrieff (who also played a crucial role in the shaping of The Dirty Projectors’ “Bitte Orca”).
