Pitchfork

Some people know a good bandwagon when they've jumped it. Other people just keep playing the same kind of music until it becomes popular (or doesn't.) Lilys captain Kurt Heasley is one of the latter; he's been pumping out killer shoegaze/60s psych tracks for over a decade and a half, surrounded by a revolving cast of characters. Remember the Philly "Psychedelphia" scene in the mid-to-late 90s? No? Well, Kurt probably doesn't either.

On March 21, Manifesto will release Everything Wrong Is Imaginary, the first Lilys album since 2003's Precollection. And it blooms a little something like this:

01 Black Carpet Magic
02 With Candy
03 A Diana's Diana
04 Knocked on the Fortune Teller's Door
05 Where the Night Goes
06 The Night Sun Over San Juan
07 Still in All the Glitter
08 Everything Wrong Is Imaginary
09 O.I.C.U.R.
10 Scott Free

Heasley and his current band, which apparently includes a guy named Mario Lopez (Saved by the Bell!), will play a smattering of shows in the coming months, including an appearance at the Dinosaur Jr.-curated day of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in England in May.
