Gothic Psych From The Well

March 7, 2019 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Austin’s The Well have been at the game of 70s doom psych for a long time, but they’ve just dropped a new single, “Death and Consolation,” that shows a slight change direction for the trio. This new track is a trip into less of the jam band genre and more into the tighter knit gothic realm, a-la The Cure or Joy Division. While the song begins in the typical hazy-trance-like state, I’m most interested in the change up at the end of the track, at roughly the three minute mark, when you get an eerie, haunting build of vocals in the background while the guitar part is going wild. A lovely slice of gothic psych, “Death and Consolation” offers a taste of what’s to come on the band’s upcoming LP by the same title, which will be out April 26 via Riding Easy Records. Pre-order it here.

They’re on their way to releasing a new album, which is called Pagan Science, and is about to make big waves for the band. Before that album comes out, you can listen to the first of their new tracks below, called “Black Eyed Gods,” which is a furious explosion of heavy guitar riffs and gang vocals that’ll have you screaming along. Get ready for their new album, which will be out October 14th, and be sure to go pre-order it here, via Riding Easy Records.
