"Clouds Of Delusion" Grateful Dead x Phish VHS Mixtape

“Intuitively, it is obvious that there is a shared cosmic ley line frequently travelled by Phish and the Grateful Dead, where song structure becomes secondary to ploughing headlong into the clouds of collective improvisational delusion. In producing this entirely perfect mix, S.I.R. makes possibly the single greatest case there is for the lifelong study of America’s two goofiest rock bands and their infinite catalogs by demonstrating just how universally incredible their greatest improvisational peaks can be. As if that wasn’t enough, Coast Range Lights’ visuals, with classic S.I.R. video supplements, provide an endless panoply, an ocular massage buffet, ever evolving with the music to form a genre-defining masterpiece in curation and presentation.” - Bubba Ayoub aka juggableoffense

Manifested for the first time as physical media, this 2019 collaboration between S.I.R. and Coast Range Lights features a 2 hour seamless melding of Grateful Dead and Phish jams with trippy liquid light/video collage/glitch accompaniment.

The VHS tapes are available in a run of 50 hand-numbered tapes with "Cosmic Rodeo" cover art designed by Garret Conour, printed on high quality photo paper at Shrug Studio home base. The tapes themselves feature holographic sticker labels printed here in Portland, OR by Sticker Ninja.

The first 5 tapes feature exclusive holographic foil variant art!

(Note that these were recorded to used VHS tapes [reduce, reuse, recycle!], so do not be alarmed if snippets of another reality pop in before or after your regularly scheduled programming)
