Desert-psych Debut MOJO RISING from PSYCHLONA Has Been Unleashed!
Posted on the 11 November 2018 by RipplemusicVideo single streaming now via DECIBEL Today marks the official worldwide release of MOJO RISING, the debut album from desert-rockers-by-way-of-Yorkshire, England, Psychlona.And streaming now via Decibel Magazine is the band's DIY video for anthemic single, "Down In the Valley."
Psychlona started off via the most rock 'n roll of origins:guitarists Phil and Dave, who had shared stages frequently in their respective bands over the years, ran into each other at a gig and bonded over beers and talk of Kyuss, Sabbath, Nebula, and Hawkwind.They decided to form a new band that night.
Setting to work, they coalesced quickly with bassist Martyn and began to conjure the laid-back soundscapes, fuzz-driven grooves, and weighty yet flowing riff power they mutually loved.
Following their Spinal Tap-esque search for a reliable drummer (finding a fit at number SIX), the ambitious and motivated foursome wasted no time writing and self-releasing their debut album while simultaneously organizing and hosting their own music festival, Idle Fest, all with the goal of taking their sound global.
Psychlona floats between Boogie Van-era Fu Manchu and early Orange Goblin, with occasional fistfuls of Spirit Caravan that all coasts effortlessly past the Sky Valley billboard.
Psychlona's debut album, Mojo Rising, sees a proper label release on digital formats today via Ripple Music and vinyl through Cursed Tongue Records. Psychlona: Phil Hey – Guitar & Vocals Dave Wainfor – Guitar Martyn Birchall – Bass Scott Frankling – Drums
