LSD and the Search for God hit the Northern California coast in 2005, seemingly from another place and time, dosing San Francisco with hypnotic shows built on swirling guitars, otherworldly drones, fuzzed-out pop melodies, and dreamy vocal harmonies.

Early shows and recordings drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, and Sonic Youth, helping the band quickly earn a reputation as a must-see act within the Northern California underground shoegaze and psych scene.

Their self-titled debut EP (Mind Expansion Records, 2007; Don Giovanni, 2025) sold out before its official release date, earned critical acclaim, and continues to appear on lists of essential shoegaze releases.

Selected Press Quotes:

The San Franciscans’ washed-out guitarscapes and affectionate, blanket-warm melodies resemble My Bloody Valentine jamming with Yo La Tengo."

\--The Big Takeover

''It was a night of exceptional intrigue and quite literally, an other-worldly performance. The set bent and warped through psychedelic bliss. Crazed and incensed punters at the front of the crowd dictated spaces to writhe themselves around in, one chap took to taking his top off, letting his spilling gut loose and continuing to throw his head towards the monitor, just in case it was not loud enough.'' --Brighton Finest
