LENSES ALIEN is a stunning example of a band growing into itself - learning to collaborate, becoming more confident. WHY THERE ARE MOUNTAINS, their critically acclaimed first CD, was a record that band leader Joseph D'Agostino made largely on his own, with help from Matt Miller and some other friends and acquaintances that came and went. LENSES ALIEN is a record that Joseph D'Agostino, Brian Hamilton, Matt Miller, and Matthew Whipple made together, as a band. At it's core, LENSES ALIEN is a marriage of classic pop forms and ambient haze that makes for a stark, dusky psychedelia.
