Psychedelia is having a serious resurgence and Mystic Braves are drawing on their west coast upbringing to make their mark in this acid-drenched landscape. Their recently released video for "Desert Island," is the first single from their forthcoming LP of the same name, due out April 29, which also happens to be the second full length release from this young band. While it may appear formulaic at first glance, frontman Julian Ducatenzeiler describes their honest approach, stating, "we simply write sensible pop songs from the heart with psychedelic textures and tones. It just comes natural to us." Anyone who has spent their formative years exploring the landscapes of Southern California can surely relate to its magical influence. Get tripped out with The Mystic Braves every Monday in April for their Residency at The Echo. – Jacqueline Caruso
