Golden Dawn Arkestra prep new LP (hear "Lovely Day"), playing Levitation fest

Ever wish Sun Ra, Sergio Mendes, Os Mutantes, Sly Stone, Sweden’s GOAT, and Up With People were all in a band together? Sure, we all do, but since that not likely to happen (at least on this plane of existence), Texas collective Golden Dawn Arkestra fill that niche pretty well. The band’s third album, Children of the Sun, will be out June 1 via Nine Mile and they made it with producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky, My Morning Jacket). We’ve got the premiere of “Lovely Day” which shows the Arkestra’s breezy, tropical side. Listen to that below.

Golden Dawn Arkestra will play Austin’s Levitation festival this weekend where they’ll headline at Cheer Up Charlies on Friday (4/27), with Imarhan and Superfonicos also on the bill (tickets). Flyer for their Levitation show, as well as album art and tracklist, are below.

Levitation 2018 also features Slowdive, The Black Angels, Electric Wizard, Ministry, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Ty Segall, psych-rock supergroup MIEN (their first show), Panda Bear, Oh Sees, Parquet Courts, OM, S U R V I V E, Chelsea Wolf, Dan Deacon, and more. Stay tuned for more Levitation coverage on BrooklynVegan.
