The Binah Comics & Solilians 7-Inch Package is out now!

The Binah Comics, a graphic novel Illustrated by Ian Densford and Written by Ben Malkin, is an intergalactic super-powers tale sans violence, about a woman sick of all the insanity and nuclear posturing surrounding her homeland. Ambient psych band Solilians (made up of Neptune Sweet, J Cep, Gabriel Walsh, and Ben Malkin) created an atmospheric Vinyl 7-inch meant to be the perfect sonic ecosystem to inhabit while reading the comic. You can purchase them separately or together, although they are meant to be a package/beautiful collectors item.

"...densely atmospheric star-melting guitar scrawl, acoustic interludes, and gentler drone. It’s the kind of heady nighttime psychedelia that has a way of feeling truly space-stretching and mind-altering," - Stereogum, Implodes - Band to Watch

Dear Friends,

We have wonderful news! ‘The ‘Binah’ Comics & Solilians 7-Inch Vinyl,’ kickstarter campaign has made both of its stretch goals, so ‘Binah’ will now be both 10 pages longer, and HARD COVER! We are unbelievably thrilled at this prospect, can’t thank you enough, and beaming the smiles of a thousand butterfly wings flapping in the wind (in the synesthetic parlence of our times).
