Over their past three albums, Death Valley Girls have been perfecting their retro-tinged garage rock sound, adding guest appearances from members of of The Make Up, The Shivas, and Moaning on their most recent LP Darkness Rains. Their latest single "Dream Cleaver" is a hypnotic, cosmic trip, inspired by a man who's been called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s." The band explain, via a press release:
“On our quest to consider the mysteries of the universe, and what happens after life – we became very interested in Terence McKenna. Particularly his ideas on trans-dimensional travel. Mr. Mckenna proposed that DMT (dimethyltryptamine) sent one to a “parallel dimension” and that literally enabled an individual to encounter “higher dimensional entities.” We believe that these entities hold the secrets of the universe and the afterlife! We became obsessed with trying to contact them, so we don’t have to wait till the afterlife to have some answers to these questions!”
