Disastroid Sign to Heavy Psych Sounds; Mortal Fools out Feb. 14

disastroid

Yup, called it. Pardon the moment of self-congratulations, but when Heavy Psych Sounds announced its latest sampler last week, I couldn’t help but notice the tracklisting contained a seemingly new cut from San Fran three-piece Disastroid. That led to speculation they’d signed to the venerable Italian imprint, and indeed, that has turned out to be the case. They’ll release a new album, titled Mortal Fools, on Valentine’s Day. So yes, called it. Look at me, paying attention. What’s the prize again?

To mark the occasion of preorders going live, they’re streaming a new song that you can find at the bottom of the post here, following word from the PR wire making the whole thing official. These guys might seem like an odd fit for the label, being more punkish than a lot of the desert rock or SoCal boogie HPS has picked up of late, but they had a split with Fatso Jetson a few years back and there are some behind the scenes links to the desert scene that might’ve come into play as well.

Cool news either way. From the PR wire:

The presale of their brand new album MORTAL FOOLS starts today: https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/disastroid-mortal-fools-presale

RELEASE DATE:
FEBRUARY 14th, 2020

San Francisco veterans Disastroid have been serving up sludgy, grunge-infused stoner rock for the better part of a decade now, refining a sound that weaves heavy riffs together with angular guitar lines, odd time signatures, and hazy walls of fuzz. As influenced by 90’s noise rock as they are by modern psych, doom, and post-metal, Disastroid delivers thick, satisfying stoner rock stomp while also embracing layers of noise, tripped-out feedback, and some unpredictable song structures.

Their original approach, captured on their 2014 record “Missiles” and the 2017 follow-up “Screen”, has made them one of the most essential bands in the Bay Area music scene. Their latest, “Mortal Fools” is their heaviest and most expansive-sounding album to date. Produced by Tim Green (Nation of Ulysses, The Fucking Champs), it’s sonically focused on what Disastroid does best, laying singer/guitarist Enver Koneya’s deep vocals and fuzzed-out riffs on top of a relentless, pummeling rhythm section. At the same time, it’s loose enough that it takes some unpredictable twists and turns, conveying the band’s rough edges, sense of humor, and noisy, experimental streak.

DISASTROID is:
Enver Koneya – Vox/Guitar
Travis Williams – Bass Guitar
Braden McGraw – Drums
