Lift To Experience<\/a> released just one album before they imploded, and it was a doozy. In 2001, Andy Young, Josh T. Pearson, and Josh Browning released their double-LP concept album, The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads<\/em>, a psychedelic, apocalyptic rock and roll allegory. One of their chief critical admirers was legendary British John Peel, who recording three Peel sessions with the band in a span of five months. Then it was over, the band\u2019s legacy secured with a single album and a few radio sessions. <\/p>\n

In June, the band reunited for the 15th anniversary of the album\u2019s release at Guy Garvey\u2019s Meltdown<\/a> in London. It must have jarred something loose, because they went back to The Echo Lab, the studio in Denton, Texas where the album was recorded, to remix The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads<\/em>. The result hits stores February 3, 2017 in vinyl and CD formats, and as a vinyl box set including the Peel sessions and their 1997 demo. The band released a preview of the new mix last week, the opening track \u201cJust As Was Told,\u201d which vacillates between trippy narrative and complete musical chaos. <\/p>\n
