Magic Lantern - Platoon (2010) & Showstopper 7" (2010)

Apparently the final album by the Lantern, and a shame at that. While member Cameron Stallones continues blazing ever-onward with his project Sun Araw (and we love it around here), I'm still a little heartbroken at the loss of one of the best modern purveyors of deep space psych, echo-and-wah-laden, organ wailing behemoths. These guys have a direct line to past masters such as Can, Amon Duul II, Popol Vuh, etc. Kraut via California.

Platoon & Showstopper

Showstopper is the 7-inch that accompanies this album. Containing an amazing cover of Iron Knowledge's deep funk classic, 'Showstopper.' B-side 'Cyprus' funks pretty hard as well.
