Lettuce Prey
Unsung Psychadelphian Mike Lenert (ex-Caterpillar, Lilys) phones it in from Los Angeles, CA. Lt. Prey draws from 60s psych, folk, and wreck; 70s avant, formative period punk, and devil worship; and 80s freakout, folkup, and fuzzface. One of the absolute best. So moving, so good!
One of the more obscure shows, even by Phoning It In's standards, especially since this page is practically Lt. Prey's only remaining web presence. Mike Lenert has only a handful of easily available releases, all well-worth tracking down, including an LP on Catsup Plate. A former member of well-regarded Philly psych band Caterpillar, and sometimes the Lilys, Mike's solo stuff both predates and supersedes most everything called psych-folk nowadays. Fragile, trebly, and perfect.
