Over a seething cauldron of Irish fog, the United Bible Studies float us “A Shatner Observatory” – another great release of reverb drenched organics for the Perhaps Transparent CDr series.

After thirty minutes, the first track winds down and floats us back to earth. At this point my favorite Irish band could have hung it up, instead they respark the hash and bring us back home with a sobering yet short dreamscape that at first seems like a menacing tremolo haze but quickly falls to a simmer as the ash cools.

Limited to 100 copies.
Accepting Pre-orders and will be shipping no later than March 15th.
