Founded in the late 90’s by Laurent James (guitars) and Julien Negro (bass), Lord Of Mushrooms has always been a unique entity in constant motion. From the first live covers of the formative years to the foundations of their new master work, the band motto has always been to create its own rules and not follow others.
After a few years of uncertainty and a major change in its line up, the quintet has achieved today what will be definitively considered its touchstone, having outshined both its musical and lyrical potential with “Perspectives”.
Now fronted by Gus Monsanto (ex Adagio), Lord Of Mushrooms is back to the front and blessed with an incredible collection of songs. “Perspectives” is, without any doubt, the most ambitious and challenging work the band has ever done. The main focus was trying to get off the beaten track. The new composition were deliberately smoothed to have a more direct approach for the listener but those looking carefully will find many non conventional modes, rhythms and melodies.
