Channing Cope, the indie ensemble from San Diego, has been weaving their unique blend of psychedelic and post-rock influences since their formation in 2002. Their music—a tapestry of introspective melodies and expansive sonic landscapes—has garnered a dedicated following over the years.

The band's early releases, including the evocative "Sugar In Our Blood" album and the "Leaving the Ramp" EP, revealed a group committed to musical exploration. Their work benefitted from the production prowess of Rafter Roberts, which helped encapsulate Channing Cope's distinctive sound.

The band's third album, "Plunge Into Contempt," which was once thought to be unreleased, was actually made available to the public on July 8, 2008. The album features eight tracks that continue to expand their auditory palette, with songs like "Tape Is Purpose" and "Bull Fight" highlighting their ability to craft a deeply layered and immersive listening experience.
