Carlton Melton - Turn To EarthNorthern California psychedelic sorcerers Carlton Melton are brain surfers, mind trippers "psychlists," if you prefer. The band will take your head for a ride, occasionally rushing at superluminal speeds through a wormhole or gliding softly on a gentle breeze in a leafy glade. Sometimes your brain needs to rage, and sometimes it needs to repose. For a decade and a half, the band has yo yo'ed, almost schizophrenically, between these two modes:

Northern California psychedelic sorcerers Carlton Melton are brain surfers, mind trippers-"psychlists," if you prefer. The band will take your head for a ride, occasionally rushing at superluminal speeds through a wormhole or gliding softly on a gentle breeze in a leafy glade. Sometimes your brain needs to rage, and sometimes it needs to repose. For a decade and a half, the band has yo-yo'ed, almost schizophrenically, between these two modes: walloping space jams with furious guitar solos in one hemisphere of the brain and ethereal, feather-light splashdowns in the other. Not to mention a track here and there that builds from the latter into the former. But with two new releases in 2023, the band has evolved. Whether psych rock or ambient trance, their sound remains driving, organic, and flowing. With the addition of Anthony Taibi (White Manna, DDT), however, the group's metal freak-outs are Hawkwindier and their droning kraut trances are Spacemen 3-er. In January, the quartet released the playfully spacey Resemble Ensemble, recorded in Taibi's home studio 3D Light. October now sees the band Turn To Earth, a work with scents of Autumn, a season of death and transition. The cover art evokes a vine-covered, electric crucifix. The sound is, well, earthy but also gritty and striving towards change. The album was recorded in Fall 2022 and now harvested in Fall 2023. Phil Becker (Terry Gross, Pins Of Light) contributed drums and percussion to a few tracks on Turn To Earth, recording the album at El Studio in San Francisco. With Becker at the helm, the synths have become more prominent ("Cosmicity," "Roboflow," "Migration") and the tone heavier on the doom ("Cloudstorming," "Unlock The Land," title track): several moments could even serve as background music for epic dark fantasy films like Conan the Barbarian, Fire and Ice, or Heavy Metal. As exquisite as Turn To Earth is, Melton are best appreciated as a live act: their recordings as well as their gigs are largely improvised - not so much composed as birthed. And yet their most recent tour ended abruptly and perilously. The group had to cancel it's final three shows once members were admitted to Arnhem hospital in the Netherlands. Five years later, reinforcements have strengthened the band and restocked it's arsenal of great tracks. After the rockus interruptus of that 2018 tour and the tantric tease of the intervening Covid lockdown, Melton have some unfinished business. An October 2023 tour is poised to set the freshly minted quartet back onto the stages of Europe and within the cerebral folds of it's fans. Turn To Earth, sure... but keep your head in outer space.

Good product, the pump bottle could be better
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
This is a usual product for me, I like and trust it. It has little smell, spreads on easily and can be washed off without too much trouble. The pump is nice while it works but I take away one star because it leaves about 20% of the product in the bottom of the bottle when the "cone of depression" gets lower than the bottom of the tube that brings the product up. After the pump can no longer effectively pump the product up, I cut the top of the bottle off and dip the rest out with my fingers. I'm not sure what they can do to make it work better but it's inconvenient as it is.

Excellent protection for workouts and hot days! ☀️🏃‍♂️
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
This sunscreen is fantastic for daily use and outdoor activities. The SPF 50 protection is highly effective; I’ve used it under intense sunlight and haven't gotten burned at all. What I love the most is that it actually resists sweat and doesn't run into your eyes when you are working out. It doesn't leave an overly greasy feel, and the 8oz size lasts a long time. It is a reliable product that is always in my bag. 100% recommended purchase!

Very helpful
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
This sunscreen is a fantastic value, especially since I managed to grab it while it was on sale. It applies smoothly without feeling overly greasy and provides solid protection for outdoor activities. It is definitely worth picking up if you can find a good deal on it, as it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I will be keeping an eye out for another sale so I can stock up for the rest of the summer.
