More about VUM

“I recommend it”- Henry Rollins, KCRW

“Minimal and elusive”- August Brown, LA Times

“[M]usic for people who see all too well in the dark”- Chris Ziegler, LA Weekly

VUM began in 2008 as the songwriting duo Jennifer Pearl and Christopher Badger working in and out of the Secret Lodge in Topanga Canyon, CA. Their debut EP “Strange Attractor” manages to be the desert, the tropics, and “the streets” all at once. In 2011, VUM released their first full-length album, Night Sun, on Secret Lodge Recordings. Night Sun lead the listener further into the jungle-choked latitudes of distant locales and explored the dark side of psychic war, whilst becoming a favorite of the underground blogosphere and a staple on Henry Rollins’ KCRW radio show.

VUM now includes live drummer/percussionist, Scott Spaulding, who makes his first appearance on their 2012 7” single release- Laura Palmer/Are You Animal? (Secret Lodge Recordings). These two tracks show a shift deeper into the darkwave/ pop-noir spectrum of VUM’s aesthetic. Laura Palmer was hailed as a song that “will forever be cemented into your mind as a song that you loved deeply" by bloggers, a “pop culture fav” by USA Today, and is in constant rotation on L.A.’s college radio KXLU and in Rollins’ KCRW set.

VUM is releasing their 2nd full-length album, Psychotropic Jukebox, digitally this fall. Two singles from Psychotropic Jukebox were premeired in the LA Times and USA Today earlier this year. The next single set for premiere, Hall of Mirrors, is due out August 27th, 2013.

What We Need & What You Get

• $3,700 is what we need to press 500 copies of Psychotropic Jukebox on black vinyl records, with original artwork pressed on eco-friendly jackets, and reusable plastic outer sleeves. Download will be included with vinyl.  This cost includes digital mastering, vinyl mastering, the production of 500 pieces of vinyl with one-color labels, and 3-color jackets. This also accounts for Indiegogo's fee which is deducted once our campaign is funded.
  

• Our perks include a range of rare VUM merchandise, including the opportunitity to donate in exchange for your very own reserved copy of Psychotropic Jukebox, First Listen Download, and Special Edition Cassette.
  

• If we don't reach our goal, we don't recieve any funding and we don't press the vinyl. You will not be charged for your donation if our campaign is not fully funded.
