Now-The Psychedelic Sound Of Summer With The Lemon Fog-Pre-Order Now
The spacey psychedelic
sound of The Lemon Fog never sounded better with all their singles, previously
unreleased outtakes, and complete version of “Summer”, all from the original
master tapes. Hailing from Houston, Texas, The Lemon Fog blew many minds during
1967-68, quickly becoming a popular draw at the local Houston hot spot, “The
Living Eye”. Their first single “Theme For The Living Eye” (changed to “Lemon
Fog” upon release) was a psych-pop flower power masterpiece released in the
winter of 1967. The b-side “Echoes of Time” was nothing short of brilliant,
reminiscent of the British psych scene. In June, 1968, the second Lemon Fog
single, “Summer”, was released and remains the signature track of the band with
its moody and introspective sound, unusual for a summer themed song. “Summer”
should have been a number one hit. The Lemon Fog’s third and final single, “The
Prisoner” and “ Day By Day” was released in November 1968, but also failed to
chart. The surreal lyrics and tight playing of The Lemon Fog obfuscate the fact
that the members were in high school when these sophisticated psychedelic
masterpieces were recorded.
