Crayola Lectern’s “Disasternoon”: A Dazzling, Psychedelic Escape

thisaktmusic

25 Jun, 2025

Crayola Lectern’s “Disasternoon” is not only a title track, it is the celestial centrepiece which epitomises the deeply textured universe of its third studio recording. Originally from Brighton, UK, the band is led by Chris Anderson, who plays multiple instruments. The album is an astonishing multi-faceted tapestry of sounds that brings together the melancholic, the cinematic, and the mind-expanding. Co-mixed by veterans of the experimental scene, Bic Hayes and Damo Waters, the track is full of otherworldly splendor and can elicit feelings, invoking the fragility of Robert Wyatt and the lavish psychedelia of Mercury Rev.

"Disasternoon" is built on layers of Mellotron, cornet, piano, and synth; a bold, sweeping, emotionally charged narrative about shared escape and cosmic surrender. The track is an anthem for those navigating isolation who similarly seek unification with humanity.

This version of the song was recorded at Ghosty Mill Studio in Worthing and was mastered at Golden HIVE in Prague. "Disasternoon" captures Crayola Lectern's unique "melanchodelic" style, a hybrid art-rock aesthetic that feels equally introspective and disembodying.
