If Rush had been from Oregon and predisposed towards a perception in Japanese ideas of reincarnation and different metaphysical subjects that many an Oregonian has contemplated (whereas little question below the affect of psychedelics), they’d in all probability sound an entire lot like Portland trio Gentle Creates Shadow, on their new single, “Magnificence For Ashes.” Which is to say, this moss-covered trio—Marc Changnon (guitar/vocals), Jered Johnson (bass), Adam Younger (drums)—create progressive, psych-influenced proto-metal that takes us again to Caress of Metal or Fly by Night time, full with excessive, countertenor vocals, an lively rhythm part and an entire lotta phrases. “Magnificence For Ashes” is just like the bizarre second cousin of “Fly by Night time,” with just a little Pink Floyd in that DNA. You understand, the sort of music that may absolutely solely originate in Oregon.
The observe was recorded at Isaac Brock’s (Modest Mouse) studio and engineered by Brandon Eggleston. Will probably be accessible on all digital platforms and could be bought right here.
A quote from Marc Changnon relating to the brand new single:
“This tune was conceived via my expertise of reliving previous lives or quantum timelines to resolve karmic imbalances. I’ve discovered via my experiences that we’re partially right here to clear our karma via relationships and decisions. Our timelines typically scaffold on one another in cyclical patterns all through our lives, instructing us classes for progress at soul stage.”
