Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock trio Prince Rama
(formerly known as Prince Rama of Ayodhya) formed in 2007 around the
talents of Michael Collins and sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson. The trio
members, who were raised in a Hare Krishna-centric Florida community,
met in high school and began their musical journey as a straight-up
punk-pop outfit, but a year in a Boston art school, as well as a steady
diet of Amon Düül, Animal Collective, and Gang Gang Dance
records, helped them make the transition from wannabe skatepunks to
cosmic purveyors of tribal, mantra-heavy, lo-fi psychedelic pop. The
group's debut collection, Threshold Dances, appeared in 2008 on the
British-based Cosmos label. Zetland arrived in 2009, followed in 2010 by
Shadow Temple, which was co-produced by Animal Collective's Deakin and Avey Tare. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
