Lost Coast: Some Visionary Music From California assembles obscure and previously unheard recordings from California’s metaphysical underground (1980–1992). Each piece spans different styles—dream pop, guitar soli, fourth‑world, and avant‑electronic—yet all share a regional ethos of the “visionary”: music that sees through the mind’s eye to conjure new worlds.

Drawn from the personal cassette collection of House Rules operator Zully Adler, these tracks were unearthed in flea markets, barn sales, rural thrift stores, and even the ranch of a retired mescaline dealer. Some were released on limited-run tapes; others circulated only among friends, or remained completely unreleased.

This compilation is a celebration of California as a magnet for eccentrics and free thinkers—the place “where the nuts stop rolling”—reclaiming that legacy as one of creative possibility. Strange and surreal, yes—but always listenable, where the unusual and the pleasurable meet.
