Berkeley Pit is releasing their third album, Phase Transition.

Berkeley Pit is a Seattle-based music therapy clinic and experimental recording project.  Founded by former members of Mountain Con (1999-2006), Berkeley Pit makes electronic folk music for the young, the damned, the digitally exhausted, and brokenhearted. They are: James Nugent, Ben Erickson, Eric Piippo, and Mike Watt.  

Their third album, Phase Transition, is an expansive blend of beat-driven art rock and psychedelic soul, staged as a final grand celebration. Its layered storytelling explores what it means to keep loving, creating and myth-making in a collapsing world. 

Phase Transition was mixed by Erik Blood and mastered by Adam Straney.
