ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAISO U.F.O.

Like a band out of time, Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO distill cosmic influences into a deluge of psychedelia, distortion and pure rock n roll ecstasy – a miasmic orchestra that transposes the pothead pixie ethos into primordial realms, where free improvisation meets adrenaline-charged electricity and rock reconnects with the freakout tradition.
The sprawling universe of Acid Mothers Temple was formed in 1995 by Kawabata Makoto, dubbed by the Wire magazine in 2001 as “one of the great post-Hendrix blood and fire guitarists”. In the 20+ years since, AMT have simultaneously reinvigorated rock music while redefining what the idiom should and could be.
With over two decades of mind bending, idiom-exploding activity and a discography of over one hundred releases (not to mention the numerous solo and side-project releases which encompass everything from drone, acid-folk, acapella, to minimalist composition), AMT are an experimental rock institution: a fervent exclamation that the countercultural freedom which dominated the late 60s is still very much alive and kicking.
Recent activities include a 12″ split single with TX underground psychedelic legend ST 37. Each song is a rendition of a song from David Lynch’s original Twin Peaks — AMT adds their otherworldly texture to the Badalamenti/Lynch tune “Sycamore Trees”.
