Orgone is back in California and coming in hot with Chimera, a fire-breathing spectacle of psychedelic Afro-soul.

Produced by Sergio Rios (Neal Francis, Say She She), Chimera is an electrifying, dream-like odyssey, tripping through the hazy swamps of New Orleans, weaving textures of entrancing voodoo soul, thrumming Afro-funk, and stoney psych-rock.

In Chimera, the heavy-hitting new LP from Orgone, out February 9th, 2024 on 3Palm Records, the Los Angeles-based outfit carves tough, gritty, infectious grooves into heady dance rhythms.

Taking its name from a mythical beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a serpent, Chimera conjures a state that is at once trance-like and heart-poundingly exciting.

The album opens like a heady puff of smoke in the face with "Hallowed Dreams", drawing the listener into a state where reality blurs and the music takes control.

The focus track, "Zum Zum", is a hooky Afro-funk dance floor heater that synchronizes your heart rate to its propulsive percussion, the hypnotic rhythm building into a raucous, psychedelic climax.

On the raw and rousing "Tula Muisi (Dance Like Them)", a tapestry of Afrobeat and heavy psych-rock bolsters the singer calls for unity and respect, which translates to "Hear the music, and dancelike them." Known for their gripping instrumentals and incendiary live show, the band is firing on all cylinders and the earned confidence of this time-tested, cult-favorite crew is on display throughout Chimera.

From its inception, Orgone has always been a chimera _ a multifaceted creation and the physical manifestation of impossible quixotic dreams.

Chimera will delight fans of early Orgone while showcasing the band's effortless and endless ability to shape-shift.

It's an electrifying, mesmerizing record sure to exceed expectations and keep the listener rapt.
