Paracosm is a Psychedelic progressive outfit from Harrisonburg VA, dead-set on delivering uncompromisingly original compositions and bombastic live performances.
Drawing on influences from Progressive legends such as <a href="spotify:artist:7AC976RDJzL2asmZuz7qil" data-name="Yes">Yes</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6ra4GIOgCZQZMOaUECftGN" data-name="Frank Zappa">Frank Zappa</a>, as well as an eclectic blend of Funk and Garage psych (a-la <a href="spotify:artist:450o9jw6AtiQlQkHCdH6Ru" data-name="Funkadelic">Funkadelic</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6XYvaoDGE0VmRt83Jss9Sn" data-name="King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard">King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard</a>), Paracosm formed as a four-piece in 2016 as an open mic band with a handful of instrumental compositions. Their eponymous EP catalogues the band's formative two years as an instrumental group, released just shortly before growing into a five piece with the addition of Jared Zimmerman on Keys and Vocals.
