In the event you’re a fan of data which can be really only one lengthy track, then this premiere is for you. Hailing from Albany, New York, sludge/drone quartet Carnwennan have crafted such an album with Lush, the right comply with as much as their demo final yr. Divided into 4 components titled merely with roman numerals, it’s an album that slowly builds to peaks and dips to valleys. Right this moment, Carnwennan reveal the video for “III,” the third motion on Lush.
Issues begin slowly, with miserable, gradual chords and equally-paced drumming, with dreary melodies paying homage to Bell Witch and their ilk. The track picks up in depth across the midway mark, with harsh, yell-screamed vocals coming into the combo and the music creating a sharper, more durable edge. It’s paired properly with the accompanying video, which makes use of the gorgeous panorama of the northeast to inform a narrative about captivity.
“Lotus is about an age of struggling, damaged up into 4 components – ‘III’ is about endurance and acceptance, and the video we made is supposed to drive that concept house,” explains guitarist and vocalist Jack Jackal. “Engaged on the video was a blast however was in itself a lesson in endurance and acceptance since we had been engaged on it out within the woods by means of an unpredictable northeastern winter.”
Dig in to the video under; Lotus is out June 1 on Darkest Data.
