Sky Picnic is a psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn/New York that surrounds the listener in a mystical and fairy tale like world of psychedelia, taking you to the edge of the universe and the unknown regions of the mind. They have been described as 'dark and eerie layered psychedelia' and 'highly textured psychedelic space-rock', while drawing comparisons to styles as diverse as Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and early Slowdive.
Their live performances each stand out as a one-of-a-kind musical trip that blurs the lines between music and art, with experimental instrumental breaks full of feedback, echoes and endless exploratory possibilities. The band was founded by Chris Sherman (lead guitar, vocals) and Leah Cinnamon (bass, vocals) in 2007 and by December 2008, they self-released their debut EP, entitled 'Synesthesia', which received national radio play. A pair of digital-only singles followed, 2009's 'Hide & Seek' and 2010's 'Lost Is Found'.
With the new decade comes Sky Picnic's first full-length, 'Farther In This Fairy Tale'. Featuring drummer Pete Meriwether it resurrects the lost art of the concept album, telling the tale of a loss of innocence and an introspective journey through life. The story starts off with the single 'Hide and Seek', which recalls the joys of childhood and the innocence of a bygone era, while the LP's centerpiece is the 11 minute epic 'The Universal Mind Decoder'. This is the band's first release for independent label Nasoni Records of Germany. From: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6688
