Lost Coast: Some Visionary Music From California’ harvests from archives 10 succinct snapshots of freethinkers and metaphysically-attuned musicians channelling hippy spirits for the new age. They are sterling examples of a rippling undercurrent that flows from the ‘60s into now, nourishing spiritual needs with glimpses of between-worlds styles united by a lysergic mind’s eye.

Lost Coast is a commemoration of the people who made these journeys and a resurrection of recordings they made little effort to broadcast. While some pieces were originally released with modest distribution, others were only shared among friends or never shared at all. All tracks were found on cassettes in flea markets, barn sales, rural thrift stores, and even stranger places—outside a gem and mineral shop, for example, and on the ranch of a retired mescaline dealer.
