With the release of
Pagan Fruit now less than a week away, Salt Lake City psychedelic riff-wranglers,
Dwellers, in cooperation with
Metal Insider, present "Spirit Of The Staircase."
Featuring former members of Iota and
SubRosa, the self-proclaimed "gut rock" trio will release
Pagan Fruit next Tuesday via Small Stone. 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 absorbing long player delivers
Nine tracks of solid, occasionally doom-laden psych rock.
Dubbed, "a stunning body of work that, while bearing influences from the past, charts its own course to the future," in a 4.5/5 rating by Rock Revolt Magazine, who furthers, "The aim is to snatch you from your mundane
Existence, teleport you into an idling spaceship, and rocket you into an
Alien musical experience,"
Pagan Fruit follows in the still-echoing sonic shockwaves of Dwellers' critically-lauded
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 with staggeringly powerful and memorable results.
Comments
Metal Insider, "If you're a fan of melodic doom and desert rock, the band's sophomore album,
Pagan Fruit, should be right up your alley. Guitarist/vocalist Joey Toscano's whisky-drenched
Voice bears a resemblance to Mark Lanegan's, while the rhythm section of bassist Dave Jones and drummer Zach Hatsis back him up admirably with a bluesy swagger."
Fear not the "Spirit Of The Staircase," now streaming at
THIS LOCATION.
And if you missed it, sample "Son Of
Raven," currently playing at The Obelisk
HERE.
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 Recordings May 6th, 2014. Preorders are available at
THIS LOCATION.
