Jesus the Snake Self-Titled EP Due this Month
I don’t know precisely when, but at some point before this month is over, Portuguese heavy psychedelic rockers Jesus the Snake will release their self-titled debut EP, and as you can hear in the pair of eight-minute cuts they have streaming from the borderline full-length, the focus is on pervasive tonal warmth amid an atmosphere of depth and exploration. It’s an organic vibe throughout “Floyds I and “Karma” alike, and one can hear shades of fellow Iberians Arenna as well of course as bands like Colour Haze, Causa Sui, and so on, which especially on a first release seems like an excellent place to start.
Seems like one to look out for at some point for a future vinyl release, if nothing else. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some Euro imprint caught wind of what Jesus the Snake were getting up to and decided to get behind a pressing — they make a compelling argument for doing so at least upon a leadoff impression.
Recorded live, you can hear both songs below, under the info for the EP. Here goes:
Jesus The Snake is a psychedelic rock band from Portugal consisting on Jorge Lopes (guitar), João Alves (Keyboard), Rui Silva (bass) and João Costa (drums). The band was founded in 2016 and their first album self titled “Jesus The Snake”, recorded on HertzControl Studio, will be released in November 2017.
