Paddang - Lost In Lizardland

PADDANG - LOST IN LIZARDLAND

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 6TH, 2024

PADDANG is a psychedelic rock trio formed in Toulouse (France) in 2020. With Osees and King Crimson airing from the car radio and a band name inspired by an Indonesian surf spot, PADDANG are speeding along on a cosmic epic that sounds like a Herbertine prophecy.

"Lost in Lizardland" is the soundtrack to an SF road movie that sounds like a Herbertian prophecy. An improbable, almost absurd story, in which the listener evolves with each track. Much more than a simple children's fable, this album proves to be a real warning about current global issues, so obvious are the parallels with our own reality. These 9 new tracks tell the story of Moros, a disillusioned young woman trying to survive in a world on the brink of collapse.

It's a rich, bewitching universe of contrasts, just like PADDANG's sound identity, where fuzz guitars rub shoulders with reverberant landscapes, while the voices unite to pave the way for unbridled rock that's both raw and luminous. Recorded and mixed by Cédric Forestier at Stud du Sud, then mastered by Olivier Planchard, "Lost In Lizardland" develops a massive sound where the band's heavy psych, garage and pop influences have never been so evident.

Far from hiding behind a wall of fuzz or a mountain of reverb, the three voices set the tone and invoke an urgent need to act in the face of a collapsing world. Their debut album "Chasing Ghosts" was released in March 2023, supported by a fifty-date tour (including French festivals and support acts in the UK and France).
