The Dharma Chain have released their second full-length album »Some Kind Of Pure State« available now via Spinda Records in collaboration with Le Cèpe Records, Clostridium Records, Echodelick Records and Dirty Filthy Records.

Recorded at Funkhaus Berlin and produced by Jonathan Dreyfus, the album finds the band refining their signature blend of shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, post-punk, and classic rock influences. Across eight immersive tracks, reverb-drenched guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and ethereal vocals create a soundtrack for transformation, uncertainty, and renewal.

Originally formed in Byron Bay and now based in Berlin, The Dharma Chain have built an international following through their powerful live performances and genre-defying sound, appearing at festivals including SXSW, Fusion Festival, Sharpe, Synästhesie and DunaJam.

Following their acclaimed debut album Nowhere and the singles »Inside A New« and “Red Red Red Red Red” »Some Kind Of Pure State« with the album focus track »Cross Over« marks the band’s most focused and compelling statement to date – an album shaped by movement, change, and the search for clarity amid chaos.

The release is accompanied by an extensive European touring schedule in 2026, including appearances at Desertfest Berlin, Fuzz Club Festival, Brighton Psych Fest, and Manchester Psych Fest.
