Grails, a Portland instrumental rock band has announced that they'll be releasing a follow-up to last year's wonderful Deep Politics.
If you don't know who Grails is, you should pick up Deep Politics as soon as you can and prepare to be amazed. Maybe it's just that I love a piece that builds, but Grails is the kind of thing that you makes a simple walk down to the corner store feel like an epic quest to Mordor. It's the ultimate transportation music, guaranteed to transport you to new and unusual places within your mind.
Of course, the real treat is seeing them in concert. They're intense and mesmerizing, and they make me wish that I took drugs just so I could experience their music through that facet. Although, given that they're in Australia right now it might be a bit difficult to see them.
Grails' new album is called Black Tar Prophecies: Volume 5, and it's being released by Andres Santo Domingo and Tom Clapp's Kemado Records- which means that it'll probably be available on vinyl. I'm looking forward to heading down to their shop and checking it out. :)
