Meat Puppets 1985-1987: Up on the Sun • Out My Way • Mirage
Episode 2
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
The Meat Puppets didn't leave psychedelia behind after Meat Puppets II, they disappeared into it.In this episode, host Marc With a C follows Curt Kirkwood, Cris Kirkwood, and Derrick Bostrom through three releases that transformed the band's sound without sacrificing its identity: the luminous Up on the Sun, the adventurous Out My Way EP, and the dreamlike Mirage. Still recording for SST Records, the trio embraced melody, atmosphere, and fearless experimentation, proving that "punk" had never been the destination.This isn't a story about a band mellowing with age, it's about artists becoming increasingly comfortable trusting instinct over convention. The songs stretch toward the horizon, guitars shimmer like heat rising from desert asphalt, and melodies drift in and out of focus like mirages themselves. Their psychedelia isn't just an effect, it's a perspective; one where the ordinary world quietly slips the leash.Discover why these albums reward the kind of listening that lets your mind wander rather than race toward conclusions as they blur the lines between country, folk, garage rock, and cosmic exploration. All the while, Curt Kirkwood's elliptical lyrics leave just enough space for listeners to finish the picture. Expect conversations about suns that never quite set, landscapes that seem to breathe, and visions that vanish the moment you think you've understood them.The Meat Puppets were never interested in handing you a map, they're more interested in showing you the horizon... and asking what you think is waiting there.Links:The Meat PuppetsMarc With a C on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
