The Brown Acid Caveat is the seventh full-length album by the experimental rock group The Tear Garden released on July 7, 2017^[1] after starting a successful PledgeMusic campaign in August 2016.^[2] The campaign, which achieved 117% of its financial goal, allowed for the inclusion of a number of guest musicians including Dre Robinson and former Legendary Pink Dots members Ryan Moore, Martijn De Kleer, and Patrick Q. Wright.^[3] The album title refers to an announcement given to spectators of the first Woodstock Festival in 1969 to avoid "brown acid" -- a type of LSD reportedly associated with bad trips.^[4]
