Releasenotes:
As the producing-team behind Grails, Alex Hall and Emil Amos have hybridized and
warped various culture's versions of psych music over the past decade. With
their project Lilacs and Champagne, they've created another umbrella under which
to tweak hip-hop, tape-collage and the darkest creases of 70's film-soundtracks
with their lysergic and perverse style of head-music. The project's name and
imagery evoke a strange thrift-store mystery LP you might come across, unsure if
you've discovered an exotic dub record, a flowery Bacharach AM radio classic or
something by an obscure duo of Swedish avant-techno producers.

The record began under the influence of Madlib's production style... which had
suggested that writing songs using an Akai MPC sampler would force the two to
stretch their legs and explode any expectations created by records they've made
in the past. But rather than sampling the funk and soul canon of traditional hip
hop, they pulled from disparate sources such as Polish private press hippie
records, indistinguishable radio noise or the chopped and reversed sounds of
Jayne Mansfield's head being decapitated. Layers of instruments and found sound
were then painted over the original samples until entirely new directions were
created and taken to their logical conclusion... creating something 
simultaneously alien and familiar... something like the sound of Nurse with 
Wound collaborating with J-Dilla.
