Redneck Vampires

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Here’s the lyrics for Illus Ocean’s track “Redneck Vampires on LSD” from his forthcoming debut.  If this doesn’t whet your appetite I don’t know what could.

Redneck Vampires on LSD

I been lost in Atlantis
I been caught in Kathmandu
I’ve been drunk and stoned at Stonehenge
hell I’ve been the king of Xanadu
well I’ve been all around this world
I’ve been inside out and through
but I ain’t never met no one
that keeps the like of you

There’s no easy way out
no hope that I can see
I’m stuck with redneck vampires tripping on LSD

I sold the shroud of turin to the queen of Aztlan
I swam out to Skull Island
just to smoke weed with King Kong
reptillian politicians, that steal my mortal soul,
they took me from my horus and they threw me in a hole
well iv’e been out to sirius with some sordid company
but now I’m stuck inside with rednecks trippin on lsd

I was once abducted by the Templar Knights in Spain
I was forced to marry Ishtar out in Loki’s burnin rain
well everyday I wake up I think i’ve seen it all
from pixies, fairies, Gilgamesh and a dog that’s 10 feet tall
so help me understand this plan and show me a guiding light
give me just one hour to rally one last fight.
cause if I make it out alive I’ll go down in history
as the one who killed those red neck vampires trippin on LSD.

We told you he was tough.

Introducing…..Illus Ocean

Friday, March 5th, 2010

On March 30th we will be releasing the debut album “Meskin in the Attic” by the mysterious man who records under the name Illus Ocean.  Pulled from a “greatest hits” of a number of his unreleased albums ranging from a Country tinged album about Redneck Vampires on LSD to the psychedelic pop of of a stint with Dallas/Ft. Worth band Washing Machine, this album is a major trip!  Lovers of lo-fi garage pop will really dig it but it contains a little something for everyone.  Imagine David Bowie, Roger Waters and The Cure collaborating with The Beatles (ca. Magical Mystery Tour) and you might start to get an idea of what to expect.  It doesn’t take itself to seriously and is humorous at times but also contains deep emotion, darkness and depth.  The man behind Illus Ocean is somewhat elusive but we will endeavor to give you more details soon.
