Album -Paint Me A Dream 2012 Sky Picnic is a psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn, New York. Their music surrounds the listener in a mystical, fairy tale-like world of psychedelia that treads the line between flowery and eerie. The band features Chris Sherman (guitar/ vocals), Leah Cinnamon (bass/vocals) and Pete Meriwether (drums). Since being founded in 2008, Sky Picnic has been described as a band creating "the most gorgeous, heavenly , tripped-out psychedelia in some time" (Dirty Sexy Karma) and called a "blissfully pure psychedelic pop / rock (band), with an unescapeably English twinge and just the right amount of progressive rock thrown in for good measure" (Active Listener) that is "worthy of any late-'60s/early-'70s comparison you could want to make" (the Obelisk). Their debut record, Farther In This Fairy Tale, was released in March 2011 on Nasoni Records (Germany) and has been hailed as the perfect "turn on, tune in, drop out" experience. Sky Picnic became part of the Fruits De Mer Records family soon after this, and has been part of three such releases, most notably "Sorrow's Children", which was done in collaboration with psych legends the Pretty Things. Sky Picnic's second full length album was released in November of 2012 on Nasoni Records, and has been received incredibly well, being, among other things, included in several "Best Albums of 2012" lists. The album features a newly expanded sonic palette (such as single "Rippled"), helping to create a whole new psychedelic trip for the listener.
