Psych rock quartet Slow Season will be releasing their new full-length Westing on July 8th through RidingEasy Records. Drummer and primary recording engineer Cody Tarbell said of the album:
“Its a different album. But we never have wanted to find a particular sound or any one thing and be attached to it permanently. A big part of our records is experimenting.”
Frontman Daniel Rice explains:
“Westing follows a loose narrative about our nation’s loss of innocence as it explores its frontiers. Re-contextualized in a story about an unnamed protagonist faced with choosing between different ideological allegiances and his own social identity.”
The band are now streaming the first single from the album. Titled “Y’Wanna”, you can listen below courtesy of Consequence Of Sound.
Pre-orders of Westing are available now and can be picked up via Bandcamp and RidingEasy Records.
