“The honey badger of indie rock” -Jeff Boule, Pitchfork

Multi-instrumentalist and singer Lord Russ breathes new life into the indie-psychedelic genre with his energetic, hypnotic live shows and recordings. Mellotrons and electric sitars meet ukuleles, drum machines, and five part harmonies to create a unique atmosphere that will take you on a ride through his lush musical brain-jungle. His eclectic sound has been compared to artists ranging from Tame Impala to Of Montreal, David Bowie and Pink Floyd.

Stay tuned for news on an upcoming solo EP, and possible live shows!!!

2020 begins with a surprise release of a collaboration between mystical alchemist/avant garde cellist, Gideon Freudman! From Portland, OR to Northampton, MA and back, a CD was born. This unlikely pairing was pure magic! The two long-time friends have meshed their musical souls in such a balanced and natural way, to create a completely different style all their own. Good luck pigeon-holing this one!

 Lord Russ’ 2016 release, Have You Heard, was a cover album that even earned praise from one of the songwriters, Mike Pinder, of the Moody Blues. With deeper cuts by Donovan, each of the solo Beatles, Pink Floyd, early BeeGees, the Kinks, and more!

His 2013 release Heir of Mystery has garnered positive reviews, and the single, “Love Song Trilogy,” was voted Song of the Year on WRSI, Massachusetts.
