NEW! THE THIRD ALBUM: EXTENDED PLAY
By 1969, pioneering West Coast all-female psych-rockers Ace of Cups had already written an astonishing 60+ brilliantly original songs and were a formidable live act, fielding accolades from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Grace Slick and Jerry Garcia. The band’s new 'Extended Play' E.P. uncovers four ‘lost’ songs written during that magical, lysergic era, and completes a remarkable run of three albums since their sudden reemergence in 2016 to begin recording their debut album – a goal that had eluded them when their star was burning hot and quick. 'Extended Play' channels the band’s wild electricity into patience and strength - spacious acoustic guitars frame beautiful vocal harmonies on “Baby Come Home” while “You Don’t Understand” shimmers with Byrdsy jangle and simmering Spectoresque tension. The music is imbued with honesty, confidence and wisdom, and a lifetime of shared history and deep musical bonds.

Featuring David Grisman, Sid Page, David Freiberg, Terry Haggerty and Steve Kimock.

NEW! Lead singles from the lates Ace of Cups album Extended Play

 

From “Lucky Stars” Music Video Director Monty Miranda

“I am so happy the Ace of Cups continue to embrace vinyl. In part I owe my filmmaking career to the vinyl record. My first recollection of playing a record was playing songs released on Red Raven Records. You see, to play a Red Raven Records properly you needed a mirrored top that when placed upon the top of one of their colored 78s would reflect back imagery from the record label creating motion via persistence of vision. For hours I would watch mesmerized. My earliest experience with recorded music was inextricably connected to motion pictures. When I heard Ace’s song “Lucky Stars” I knew immediately this would be a great fit. This is it. I would tell the story of Lucky Stars by creating my own Ace of Cups imagery on the label. To me “Lucky Stars” and the film is about discovery, the discovery of something old but most importantly discovering something new. I hope you enjoy this presentation as much as I enjoyed making the film - maybe those original fables weren’t so silly after all.” –– Monty Miranda (Read the full Director’s Statement here)

The track pairs Weir’s earnest lead vocals with full harmonies and instrumentation from the Ace of Cups quartet, and includes a lilting guitar solo from Weir and his vintage Gretsch.


"Basic Human Needs"
 Wavy Gravy featuring the Ace of Cups 

Wavy Gravy's song "Basic Human Needs" is on our upcoming album but we released it early to honor Wavy’s 80th birthday and Seva Foundation's sight saving work. Our producer, Dan Shea, created this awesome track after Wavy sang and played it  in the studio with only his ektar. We brought in four wonderful gospel singers to share the background vocals with us and uplift Wavy’s heartfelt singing. Filmmaker Jesse Block created this video of Wavy's legacy of service to those in need around the world.
