Frankly, if the aim is to promote a new Radio Moscow release — and it is; New Beginnings hits Sept. 29 as their first full-length for Century Media — I’d be hard pressed to think of a better way to do that than evoking the San Diego power trio’s live incarnation, which I very likely don’t need to tell you at this point is utterly unfuckwithable. Dudes just plug in and kill. So yeah, you got a new video for “Pacing” from the new album you need to make? Might as well film it live. That kind of tells the whole story right there. The footage is tripped out a bit for good measure, with the psychedelic wash and colors and whatnot, but they’re in there, doing what they do.

I’ve got a review slated for later this month of New Beginnings, so I’m not really going to dig into the album here, but suffice it to say that after 2014’s Magical Dirt (review here), they had their work cut out for them in my mind and with guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs stepping (back) into the producer role and the new label behind them, it’s been all the more an intriguing prospect to see where Griggs, bassist Anthony Meier and drummer Paul Marrone go this time around. To put it simply, they go to Boogie Town. Where the people like to boogie down. They’ll be waiting for you by the merry-go-round.

And I suppose by that I mean — or do I? — that they’re about to hit the road on a massive European tour. I’ve already noted in posting these dates that the band will appear at Keep it Low 2017 (info here), Desertfest Athens 2017 (info here), Up in Smoke 2017 (info here) and Desertfest Belgium 2017 (info here) as they herald the arrival of New Beginnings in the company of Finland’s Kaleidobolt, and it looks like they’ve added even more to that routing since the last time I saw the list. The more the merrier. Go round.

Enjoy “Pacing” below, followed by more info from the PR wire:

Radio Moscow, “Pacing” official video

Southern Californian heavy psych power trio RADIO MOSCOW present the newest track off their forthcoming fifth studio album, “New Beginnings,” which is set for release via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS on September 29, 2017.

Filmed in Dortmund, Germany at this year’s Junkyard Festival by Dirk Behlau, the video captures the band’s intense live performance.

“New Beginnings” was recorded at Lost Ark Studio in San Diego with Mike Butler, produced by the band’s own Parker Griggs and mastered by Mark Chalecki at Little Red Book Mastering.

“New Beginnings” will be released as regular black and special edition Mint Green colored LP+CD, limited to 500 copies, which also includes a poster designed by Robin Gnista, as well as on CD, and all digital/streaming platforms. Pre-orders are available now at http://smarturl.it/RMNewBeginnings.

Having just completed a mini tour alongside the West Coast, RADIO MOSCOW will make their way across the sea to Europe to kick off a headlining run starting September 26, just in time for the release date of “New Beginnings”. Dates can be found below.
