Citizens For Interplanetary Activity – C.I.A. Change
April 2nd, 2020
The Citizens For Interplanetary Activity was an obscure San Francisco band founded in 1966 whose only known output was a soundtrack recorded in New York in September, 1967 for a 23-minute underground experimental film by Jud Yalkut called Kusama’s Self-Obliteration. Never released before outside of the film, it’s quite fortunate for bedroom heads everywhere that Jud decided to have this lost swath of spontaneous sound pressed onto an LP in 2001. Right at the start, some wildly oscillating tremolo bar guitar is abruptly cut-out by a sustained atmosphere of held vocal tone, droning organ, solemn muttering, splashing water, Middle Eastern-influenced guitar, bass, percussion and really deep piano rumble. This all eventually coalesces seamlessly into a huge ball of dissonance and on into an array of staggered, clouded, almost-rock.
