Heavy Water Experiments is an American psychedelic rock band known for their kaleidoscopic soundscapes that combine elements of space rock, shoegaze, and classic ‘70s rock. Emerging from the vibrant underground music scene in Los Angeles, the band was originally formed as Imogene in 2003 by David Melbye who is the primary creative force behind the project. Their work is characterized by its experimental vibe, weaving together rich, textural guitar layers, progressive structures, and philosophical lyricism.

Their self-titled debut album, "Heavy Water Experiments," released in 2008, instantly marked the band's entry into the world of psych rock with an intensity and prowess that garnered them a cult following. It was followed by a series of notable releases including the enigmatic "Philosopher Queen" and the hypnotic tracks "Get Drowned," "Drops," and "Single." These recordings effectively secure Heavy Water Experiments' status within the niche of modern-day psychedelia, showcasing their ability to blend the mystical qualities of their musical predecessors with a fresh, innovative approach to sound and composition.
