Ricky Eat Acid is not only a sweet band name, but a coastal lo fi trip into summer serenity with tracks like Hhhhappy and Balloons. Although I can’t say I’ve ever eaten acid, I have been indulging in some late-night snacks lately, sugary enough to induce some real hyperactive dreams. You know the kinds that don’t make any sort of sense and you really begin to question your subconscious and what the hell must be swimming in your brain to produce such states. Maybe I’d be a little more calm with these songs to lull me to sleep. There is a peacefulness in them, they’re easy to consume and soothing to the soul. And they’re free!  So go to the bandcamp and grab em.

Ricky Eat Acid posts some little descriptions to go with his tracks, this one really jumped out at me. I feel this way often, taking the hard road and really living this life to arrive to your salvation kicking and screaming, all dirtied and exhausted from the trip, but glowing with satisfaction.

“I stood in front of her with dirt in my hair, dirt on my clothes, dirt beneath my fingernails, dirt in my eyes and my mouth, my shirt ripped from the branches constantly entangling me, and my eyes filled with tears.
“You don’t know what I went through to get here.” I said.”

Sweet dreams, friends.
