If Flying Lotus is the hazy, smoke-filled chamber of the bong that is skewed L.A. beatsmithery, then it’s time to sip on the bong water that is Trance Farmers, whose debut record Dixie Crystals is set to be released on Leaving Records in physical form and Stones Throw in the digital ether on September 2.
Mixing the haziest of oddball samples with his smokey, soulful vocals, Dayve Samek’s Trance Farmers project has been a labor of love recorded over several years (i.e. the usual time it takes to record an album in weed-smoking years) around Los Angeles and combines to create a record that is not suitable to listen to while operating heavy machinery.
Take a sip of the lo-fi, dirty brown goodness via the sample track “Friends” below:
