STRANGE LOT, EGO DEATH & WILD CHARGE

Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, Strange Lot was founded in 2014 by Dominic Mena and Tim Lormor. It wasn’t long before they were garnering lots of local love behind their Walk of the Sun EP, with their first show being an NPR’s Tiny Desk session. Their first full-length ‘Another Mind’ (2015) reached #73 in the CMJ TOP 200, while The Phoenix New Times named it one of the 20 Best Records of the year. “Hints of early Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco’s nonchalance, the record encapsulates a young band discovering their sound in a pressure-free environment,” praised Consequence of Sound.

2017 saw the sophomore album, Gods & Clods, and sharing the stage with artists such as The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Kikagaku Moyo, Night Beats, A Place to Bury Strangers, and many more.

In 2019, they took the leap and dove head first into the world-renowned Austin music scene. Eventually joined by Luis Valerio on bass, the trio signed with Mas Music Records in December of 2019 in anticipation of a February 29th, 2020 release of their newest album, Mindstate.

Mindstate was recorded over the course of a year at Flying Blanket Recording in Mesa, AZ by the Bob Hoag. The album takes the listener on a rolling journey through lush and fuzzy soundscapes, intermingled with pounding drums and soaring vocals.
