about

"If the serpent came from the same place as I,
and slept in the bands that swaddled me, and its jaws
spread wide for the breast that nursed me into life
and clots stained the milk, mother’s milk,
and she cried in fear and agony—so be it.
As she bred this sign, this violent prodigy
so she dies by violence. I turn serpent,
I kill her. So the vision says." Aeschylus (Orestes)

“Yet again, isn’t there something terrible in randomness—the idea that at the very bottom of its calculations, real depravity has no master plan of any kind, it’s just a dreamy whim that slides out of people when they are trapped or bored or too lazy to analyze their own mania.” Aeschylus

This album slowly but surely came together over the course of a couple years. The tracks have been released on an odd EP or B-side somewhere before, but here they are all together, seamless and remastered. Our ugly/prettiest offering yet.

"Any other band and three tracks would feel like being short-changed when it comes to an album. However, C.I.A Hippie Mind Control are not any other band and each of the three tracks on offer here can best be described as ‘f**king mental.’

The experience of listening to C.I.A Hippie Mind Control has always been something else, but they’re pushing the limits of their imagination here. There is creativity and then there is insanity, and C.I.A Hippie Mind Control seem to not know the difference.

Absurdly abrasive, exceptionally errant, and with so much polarising progressive psychedelia throughout, it’s extremely hard to recommend. Simply because there are no comparisons. Everyone wants to sound like their own thing, C.I.A Hippie Mind Control are undeniably their own thing. A misshapen, grotesque, and maddening thing."
