Prince Rama are the real deal when it comes to psychedelia. Don’t believe me? Well, for starters, the band formed when they left the confines of an isolated Hare Krishna farm near Florida in the summer of 2007. Armed with free spirits, goat-skin drums and prayer bells, the trio headed out into the world and quickly made a name for themselves with their live shows blurring the boundaries between trance-inducing psychedelic jams and performance art. They released a string of albums before founding member Michael Collins announced he was taking a break from the band, leaving it up to the sister duo of Taraka and Nimai Larson to continue their legacy. The siblings recorded in a 19th century church and emerged with the reinvigorated and expansive fifth album, Trust Now. Full of tribal rhythms, hypnotic melodies, haunting vocals and an underlying pop sensibility, it’s a mesmerizing listen from start to finish.

They are winding their way around Australia at the moment. Check out their tour dates here.
