Eyesofsound is excited to be able to reveal 'Icarus, The Sunclimber', the new album by Carlise, UK based psychedelic sludge heavyweights MANATEES.
Laced with feedback and noise, 'Icarus, The Sunclimber' is far darker and bleaker than their previous release 'We are going to track down and kill Vintage Claytahh, the beard burning bastard', a recording that saw them collaborate with OXBOW front man Eugene Robinson. Yet, on 'Icarus..' MANATEES perfectly display their ability to mix crushing heaviness with sublime introspective ambience.
"...within the deafening blitzkrieg is a subtlety and care that makes them anything but a blunt instrument" NME
Speaking to ROCK SOUND magazine recently bassist/vocalist Alex Macarte said:
"Volume is a big thing for us, we love being able to feel the music as well as hear it"
Capturing the raw, stripped down intensity of their live show, this is a record that for which maximum volume is a must.
Tracklisting:
1. Of Wax & Wing (01.53)
2. The Sunclimber (15:21)
3. Hyperion Altitude (04:09)
4. Untitled (04:40)
5. False sun (6:53)
6. Out of the Sky, Into the gutter (12:15)
A strictly limited edition package containing a deluxe digipak with metallic print, t-shirt, pin badges & art print is available to pre-order now exclusively from OpenDNS.
