Mind Over Matter Records is very pleased to announce that "Fumes" from the forthcoming usLights release wæs (out 6.23) has premiered at Glide.

On wæs , expansive, shimmering psych-rock is linked by a golden thread of melody to a firm foundation of pop songwriting. Together Matt Nastri and former HERRA TERRA members Gregg Kusumah-Atmadja and Shawn Pelkey craft dreamy, often cinematic music that is balanced at the intersection of the fearlessly avant and intimately familiar.

Though the end result is a complex, multi-layered mélange of iridescent washes of sound, soaring melody, and gripping songwriting, the music comes from simple beginnings. "All of our songs start off as jams and are true collaborations between the three of us" relates Kusumah-Atmadja. "I hope that rawness and honesty is received by the listener."
