Jeremy Schmidt is pretty much the godfather of contemporary space rock in this neck of the woods. From his beginnings in the early 90s as a founding member of Pipedream (who, back in the day, rubbed shoulders with the likes of Mogwai, Spectrum and Flying Saucer Attack), through his involvement in the late lamented Unitard, to his semi-current role as sonic sous-chef in The Battles, he has tirelessly explored the parameters of the analog synthesizer. Armed with more vintage gear than any man without a car should rightfully own, Schmidt has finally completed his magnum opus, the recorded debut of his solo project, Sinoia Caves. Monumental washes of synth mingling with eerie, unforgettable melodies, somewhat reminiscent of the incidental music from classic space programs like Dr. Who or In Search Of - a symphony of sounds best experienced with your feet up, eyes closed and head phones on. Don't be afraid. Take Schmidt's hand and let him guide you through the cosmos. (thanks to Zulu for this bio). Jeremy played in the stoner rock outfit Orphan with members of Jackie O Mutherfucker and Young And Sexy but now has a comfortable gig playing keyboards in Black Mountain.
