Dispatch 21:We had a great time in the (home) studio when El Pipe (Zoe') came by to hang out and add drums to some previously recorded Solar Max. A really great way to cap off 2015.
After rolling thru a few times and then lunch, Heather and I strapped on the basses, Pipe climbed behind the kit (thanks Steve M.) for a Solar Maximum event. Epic! Felt good to jam with my old pal. Heather was in classic form.
Look for these recordings to become available later this year at our Bandcamp page and all the usual digital music stores.

Dispatch 20: Not recommended for those with weak hearts or those weak at heart! Her Majesty theE Spleen making it intense with "Sight Unseen" and "Advice for Young People", a couple of psychedelic romps thru the nether worlds of ourconsciousness. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. (Repeat 4x then repeat).
Watch in HD for full effect... HMS is a music and art collective based in Oakland Ca., more specifically, at ACME House of Music. Spleen metamorphed in 2012 with myself, John Middle, Steve Moriarty and Ronzoni Calzone. Nowadays, Walter Nix inhabits most Spleen sessions. We record most of our open jams and then pull the "nuggets." John then takes those mixes and "spleens "them or processes them to become the HMS sound. We had one of the largest soundcloud uploaded track count last year, resulting in over a gig of music!
2016 is gonna be a fun year for HMS and MCL with plans in the works for a release or two! -Sammy
Dispatch 19: We are really excited to be included on the DroningEarth blog's yearly compilation of doom metal, ambient, experimental et al bands from around the world called DroningEarth #73. The moment is called A Large White Bird Bearing a Message. Its available at the DroningEarth Bandcamp page as a free download! Thanks to Vesa for inviting us to include a song. Our album "Event I:uranian fire" also got a nice mention on the blog, "...enchanting improvised minimalism, 2 bass guitars crawling sweetly."
DroningEarth, based in Northern Europe, is a really cool blog that really has a finger on the pulse of heavy, dark music from all over the lands. Check them out when you get a chance. Humanity will be better for it.
Dispatch 18: The reviews for the new album are starting to come back and we could'nt be happier! Here's a nice one from Becca over at the fiberglassjacket blog.
Dispatch 17: Riding high on the fact that "event I: uranian fire" was finally made available this week ( check our bandcamp as well as iTunes, Amazon and Spotify for that), we thought we would drop a new holiday song on your brains! "Frosty the Snowdude." Its available for free download at our soundcloud page. Also available for free download are our other two singles Inner Minute and Circular Logic. So drink up on the eggnog, sit back and relax as we take you on a...anyway, enjoy!
Dispatch 16 - (Dec. 8, 2015 4:26 am): We here at music for closetLames are extremely happy to present to you "soundtrack event I: uranian fire," the first co-creation by solar maximum. Multi-dimensional psychedelic explorations in sound. Meditative. Low frequency living.
Right on the 20th anniversary of our first meeting, the new album is now available at our bandcamp page, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon.com and most other digital music sellers as a digital download. The vinyl version of the album with handprinted jackets will have a record release date sometime in the spring. We will keep you updated on that.
We hope you enjoy it! -Sammy and Heather
