bradsguitargarage This is the first time in about 2 decades that I just cleared my schedule, turned the phone off and absorbed a full album in the order of tracks the artist intended. Highly recommended. As well as their amazing song Savage Mountain. Songs like that come from another dimension and stay with you for life. Thank you, champions!

Dr. Beaf What a fantastic little gem.

davekillcountysmith Very definitely the most psych of their eps, GAOB seem to have gone for simpler song structures on Illusion of Control. Keen to see where this collective go next. Favorite track: Love & War.

about

10-track Special Edition ‘Illusion of Control’ EP officially out Friday, November 10. This Special Edition will mark Golden Age of Ballooning’s first release on vinyl, which can be ordered Band Camp or via www.goldenageofballooning.com and is also available on CD.

With the new tracks added into this special edition, it makes ‘Illusion of Control’ something more along the lines of an LP-length release. It includes their previously released singles ‘Love & War’ (April 2016), ‘So They Say’ (November 2016), ‘Illusion of Control’ (May 2017) and ‘Calling Me’ (July 2017).

The B-sides or bonus tracks on this special edition release include three new additions to the bands psyche-rock catalogue: ‘Feeling Old’, ‘Sleep Last Night’ and ‘Believing Made It Real’. Golden Age of Ballooning also shows their folky-roots with the live acoustic recordings of ’Summer Town’ and ‘Anita Big Love’ which is an acoustic version of ‘Long Mover’.
