about

From liner notes by Jason P. Woodbury:

We begin at the end.

“I’m imagining this is, like, the last two minutes of the album.”

Studio chatter litters Doggie Paddlin’ Thru The Cosmic Consciousness, the latest, and perhaps final, outing from Psychic Temple, the ever-morphing, ever-mutating constellation of players constituting Chris Schlarb’s own Planet Long Beach Rock and Roll Orchestra. Schlarb’s Southern California boy cadence carries a swaying rhythm, his speech is punctuated musically. This raw tape—behind the scenes snippets from BIG EGO and The Time Machine, a makeshift studio assembled by Chris and engineer/confidant Devin O'Brien in the Joshua Tree desert—never feels intrusive. The clips beckon and invite you in, a lifted curtain and a peek at the world revealed behind it.

Somewhere along the line, Schlarb got it into his head that perhaps his musical visions will lead him elsewhere from here on out. “9 is the end, it’s over,” Schlarb sings after the ninth song on this, his ninth album under the Psychic Temple banner. He wrote the gnomic, elliptical figure with 7-year old daughter Isabella at the kitchen table. As drummer Tabor Allen and bassist Josh Ottum dig into a swampy, two chord groove, Schlarb is joined by a choir of acoustics (drummer Ben Lumsdaine on 6- and Max Knouse on 12-string), aching pedal steel from Dave Easley, a wiry fence of electric guitars, Hammond organ and a group of sympathetic voices that includes longtime companions, collaborators, and family. If this were the end of Psychic Temple, it wouldn’t be such a bad end after all.

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
