Mycelium Music Volume I: Pinedemonium Awakes

‘The planet will never come alive for you unless your songs and stories give life to all the beings, seen and unseen, that inhabit a living Earth—Gaia.’ – Amitav Ghosh, The Nutmeg’s Curse

Welcome to Pinedemonium, an abandoned pine plantation ruled over by an enlightened but occasionally hubristic mycelium ‘king’ and populated by the spirits of hunted living things it has consumed. Dig down in the dirt and meet the ghosts of Reynard The Fox, (staunch anti-imperialist), The Elm Tree (nature’s trespasser) and The Orchid (the original tree-hugger). Like in John Milton’s capital of hell, the spirits who dwell here have lost their paradise: the common land. But their omnipotent foe is capitalism and its many agents, and their sin is trespass.

The limited eco-mix vinyl edition of our new album is made from coloured
offcuts of previous vinyl runs. Reground and mixed together, the
repurposed material produces a randomised run of ‘lucky-dip’ colour
vinyl, ensuring each record is slightly unique.

ABOUT

Musical wayfarers of a mushroom-prog universe.

“The Mighty Orchid King is a psychedelic rock band with music that escapes any set genre and pushes the boundaries of musical structure. Beginning in 2015 as a recording project, this group has blossomed into both a 1960s-inspired jam collective and recording project for polyrhythmic exploration. Since their start, this St Albans-based band has collected quite a following with thousands of listeners from all over the world.” – Rising Artists Music Blog

“Taking inspiration from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. A psych-rock smash up with thoughtful lyrics and a decent grasp on socio-demographic politics. In other words, a switched on, savvy and talented band. Get into this.” – Fresh On The Net
