Dim Mak Records
Israeli sound-sculpting duo Infected Mushroom have unveiled their highly anticipated LP "Converting Vegetarians II" on Dim Mak. A followup to 2003's inaugural Converting Vegetarians release (which was the outfit's most successful, fan-favorite LP to date), the series serves as Infected Mushrooms platform for pushing past their traditionally psy-trance productions and into a world brimming with song-based, mid tempo vocal material that manages to retain its psychedelic edge. The fifteen-track offering is an experimental meditation on expertly layered synths, live instrumentation with guitars and piano, and low-key drum fills, weaving a brooding narrative with a sense of proportion one rarely experiences outside of the cinema. The albums lead single "Fields of Grey" features an intriguing vocal turn from star of both adult film and television (HBO's Entourage), Sasha Grey.
