remastered – Austin Town Hall

Century of Ecstasy Redo Black Hole

April 28, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You might have heard a bit of “Black Hole” if you checked out the 2020 EP, The Depth, from Swedish project Century of Ecstasy, but if you didn’t, you’re in luck as Joakim Persson has opted to go back and put some proper finishing touches on the tune. Ultimately, the tune has turned into this mellowed bit of psychedelic pop music, sort of wiggling its way in and out of your consciousness. It all rides on this meandering guitar line, carefully snaking its way in and out the empty space in the tune, letting Persson’s vocals sort of crest and ride on the top of the mix. It’s a nice little slice of sweetness to carry you on your way today.

Exclusive Premiere: Balmorhea Single Remastered

October 10, 2014 nathan.lankford

There’s been a lot of press lately for Austin’s Balmorhea, as the band readies a new 7″ on Western Vinyl. But, not only do you get to hear some new songs, but the label is also re-releasing a remastered version of their self-titled masterpiece. The song below, “Baleen Morning,” was already a beautiful piece, but the remastering touch ups has added even more power and emotion to the band’s construction; I love how you can hear the buzz of the strummed guitar sings. There’s a beautiful ornate quality that really shines through with the remastering, reminding listeners how incredibly lucky we are to have a band crafting such music. You can pick up the remastered version (as well as the new 7″) HERE. And look for a chance to win tickets to the group’s show at Central Presbyterian on 10/24.
