Psychic Lemon describe their sound as a blend of space rock, krautrock and psych. The band used to
record in a studio in the back of a small garden in Cambridge, but got evicted and now lead a nomadic existence. The band's influences are broad, but choice artists include Hawkwind, Goat and Amon Düül II. They have released albums on Drone Rock Records (UK) and Tonzonen Records (DE), and have been featured on the compilation The Reverb Conspiracy Volume Six by Fuzz Club (UK).
PSYCHIC LEMON started as a four-piece progressive rock band, comprised of Andrew Briston
(guitar, keyboard), Andrew Hibberd (bass), George Horler (guitar) and Martin Law (percussion). Focussed on a blend of space and kraut rock they played their first rehearsal together in early 2014, everyone looking for a new musical challenge.
The member's goal is to entertain, without compromise. The band's influences are broad, favourites
include Goat, Syd Barrett, The Heads and Amon Düül II. Their self-titled debut album was released in March 2016. Horler left the band soon after and the next album 'Frequency Rhythm Distortion Delay' followed early 2018 via German Tonzonen Records label.

PSYCHIC LEMON - FREQUENCY RHYTHM DISTORTION DELAY 2018
This is killer. Droney space rock is everywhere these days (even while it's not particularly popular, at least in a mainstream sense) which I think makes us value things like this less than we should. But this is one of the finest exemplars of this kind of music. drones are a road to the experience of divinity.
“A remarkable achievement which cements them as one of the most exciting and interesting bands in the
UK at the moment” — Echoes And Dust
“Psychic Lemon clearly have a distinctive sound and right now they stand above the shoulders of many of the established modern psych acts.” — Atom Heart Mutha
"As I write this it is not yet the end of 2017 and I am already starting to think that I may well have heard
one of 2018’s albums of the year. This, for me, is an absolutely brilliant piece of work that presents variations around the themes that are boldly set out in the album’s title and somehow nails then in a variety of different ways." -- Psych Insight
“We are not quite sure if Frequency Rhythm Distortion Delay is the last great record of 2017 or the first essential album of 2018” — Thee Psychedelicatessen
