ANCESTORS
NIGHT HORSE
Formed in 2006, ANCESTORS create mighty, modern music that
dovetails innovative arrangement, crushing primordial riff interplay
and melodic instrumental passages with textural "metalgaze"
atmospherics. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Infrasonic Sound by
Pete Lyman, (The Mars Volta, Beck, No Age),
the band’s new album Of Sound Mind is an 8-part, hour-long
experience
that is at once passionate, bold and challenging. Described as “A
journey through the past into the future,” the album showcases
ANCESTORS’ ever-evolving musicianship and metrics, which have drawn
comparison to Neurosis, Hawkwind, King Crimson, Om and (early) Black
Sabbath.
Of Sound Mind injects an intoxicating mien into the soul of hard rock
and vintage metal and seethes with both analog warmth and astute
atmosphere. Essentially conceptual in nature, Of Sound Mind lyrically
and thematically contemplates the quandaries of human psychology and
its effect on and within the development of modern society. With both
thunderous roar and expansive communiqué, ANCESTORS are proving
to be a quickly-emerging force of musical power and creativity.
NIGHT HORSE exploded on to the Los Angeles rock scene in 2008,
playing their first live show ever, while mixing their debut EP The
Dark Wont Hide You for Tee Pee Records. Night Horse has caught the
ears and eyes of critics and fans alike with their unique ability to
blend the greater aspects of rock music with a much needed breath of
contemporary fresh air. “If Sonic Youth had been immersed in an ocean of
Allman Brothers inspiration, or Soundgarden had been
steeped in late 60s Fleetwood Mac, then they might have turned
out something like this. Night Horse take traditional blues-rock, spark
it up with riotously noisy flashes and drag the rhythms through an
early-90s grunge experience. Moreover, they’re cohesive, charismatic and
compelling.”
Night Horse have kicked off 2010 full steam ahead. Recording their yet
to be titled new full length in 5 days with esteemed producer Matt
Bayles (Mastodon, The Sword, etc) to be released this summer, a song
in Sony Playstation's MLB 10: The Show, a scheduled 'free'
digital ep to be released thru Topspin Media (NIN,The Beastie Boys, etc)
to coincide with a mini Uk / European tour with a stop at the legendary
"Roadburn Festival' in Holland, and now a documentary of the tour
filmed and directed by the band themselves in conjunction with Converse.
What else does this Los Angeles hard rocking 5 piece have in store?
Stay tuned.
