The Acid Lounge

Platform

The Acid Lounge is just as it sounds; an hour of trippy, jazzy sounds and beats. The music is abstract, but not so obscure that you need a mind-altering substance to appreciate it. Within each song, one sound will pick up and fade out, giving way to the next one. Wailing atmospheric guitar solos blend with synthesizers, horns and vocal samples to produce a dreamy atmosphere. Want some music for chilling out at home? The Acid Lounge is just what you[base ‘]ve been looking for.

Platform Recordings, 3940 Laurel Cyn Blvd #224, Studio City, CA 91604
