Implodes

Solilians

"...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).

Ben and Ian were recently interviewed by the incredible Henry Chamberlain on his wonderful Comics Grinder blog, which you can check out here (~article, accompanied by podcast [you can find by scrolling down & clicking on the audio interview]):

Goodbye Better
