In preparation of the forthcoming new long player from Salt Lake City-based, self-dubbed "gut rock" trio,
Dwellers, leading riff
Portal, The Obelisk, is pleased to offer up
Teaser track, "Son Of Raven."
The broody tune comes by way of the band's Pagan Fruit full-length. Recorded and engineered by Andy Patterson (
SubRosa, Catholic Girls) at The Boars
Nest in Salt Lake City, Utah, mixed by Eric Hoegemeyer (Luder) at
Tree Laboratory in Brooklyn, New York and mastered by Chris Goosman (
Sasquatch,
Five Horse Johnson, Lo-Pan) at Baseline Audio Labs in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the nine-track offering follows in the still-echoing sonic shockwaves of Dwellers' enthusiastically received
2012 debut, Good
Morning Harakiri, which
Saw the newly-assembled trio of vocalist/guitarist Joey Toscano, bassist Dave Jones, and drummer Zach Hatsis pooling together their impressive prior musical credentials (Toscano with psych-metal adventurers Iota; Jones and Hatsis with doom/goth atmospheric bandits,
SubRosa) with staggeringly powerful and memorable results.
Elaborates The Obelisk: "'Son Of Raven' is a showcase of patience. Unhurried but not still, it's the kind of song that would be all but impossible to find on a band's first album and even on Dwellers' second, it makes an impressive accomplishment and is a landmark in the tracklist, among other highlights like the hard-driving 'Devoured By
Lions,' which follows, and the extended finale 'Call Of The Hollowed
Horn,' which revels in the unpretentious atmospherics the
Entirety of Pagan Fruit has managed to maintain. In part, it's the
Balance between that atmosphere and the sonic forcefulness of
Dwellers that makes the long-player such a special, engaging listen. The band pushes the traditional boundaries of rock, psychedelia and blues, and in so doing, finds an individual place within them."
Fade into the rhythmic tranquility of "Son Of
Raven," now playing at
THIS LOCATION.
An album that both exceeds the lysergic
Power chord trip initiated on that first album, and expands the band's collectively creative
Horizons into realms heretofore unexplored, here
Dwellers travels
Far Beyond the multifaceted influences, both subliminal and overt, picked up by discerning listeners on Good
Morning Harakiri - influences ranging from
Hawkwind to
Soundgarden,
Monster Magnet to
Captain Beyond,
Sons Of Otis to the Screaming Trees. The songs/seeds found on Pagan Fruit reveal novel, dynamically varied musical touchstones as
Far reaching as vintage Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Goat's
Head Soup-period Stones.
Pagan Fruit will be available for consumption via Small
Stone May 6th, 2014.
Preorders are available at
THIS LOCATION.
