RECENT NEWS! Los Angeles based psychedelic rock quintet ANCESTORS will release an EP of all new music titled Invisible White on June 21 via Tee Pee Records. The follow up to the group's sophomore album Of Sound Mind, Invisible White marks the debut of new member Matt Barks on Moog / modular synthesizers and charts a new course for the band's progressive, colorful sound. "This record showcases another side of the band," comments ANCESTORS guitarist Justin Maranga. "It's a project that we've been talking about doing for a long time and with the addition of Matt to the lineup, we knew it would be a while before we were able to get the next full length out, so we decided that now was a good time to do this. We went into the studio with rough acoustic skeletons of the songs written and essentially let the songs chart their own course. It was a really different approach for us, as we normally go into the studio knowing exactly what is going to happen."
