Space Queen Post “Incantation” Video
Posted in Whathaveyou on April 24th, 2025 by JJ KoczanI’ll admit that in perusing the press release below for Space Queen‘s new video for the previously-premiered single “Incantation”, I was hoping to run into a release date for their upcoming debut album, following on from 2023’s listed-as-an-EP-but-it’s-got-nine-songs-so-how-much-more-do-you-really-need release, Nebula (review here). No dice. I did find out they played the California Avocado Festival though, which, hell yeah I’d check that out.
So not necessarily a loss, but I still have no idea when Space Queen‘s LP will be released, and as they dive further into “Incantation” with visual accompaniment, I’m even more curious as to when it might be in store for when it arrives. I feel like there’s some searching going on here as regards identity, the candles in the visuals and cult aspects. The performances stand up strong enough that I feel like some of that might phase out over time, allowing for more of a pastoral heavy to take hold. At least that’s what I get from “Incantation.” Again, I don’t even know when the record’s coming out, let alone how it sounds, so I guess I don’t have much to add here except that if you missed this song when it premiered, now it has a video. Alright.
From the PR wire:
Space Queen share “Incantation” video from forthcoming full length debut
Vancouver, BC trio Space Queen share the official video for their new single “Incantation” today.
Space Queen is the stoner rock evolution of power trio Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Seah Maister (bass/keys/vocals) and Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals).
Space Queen takes the trio’s signature haunting vocal harmonies and sends them soaring over a cosmic canvas of neo-psychedelic rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on fuzzed-out, gnarly bass.
The band released their debut EP in 2020 which garnered a ton of favorable press and college radio play, including landing on the Earshot charts. Space Queen was featured on Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s radio show for a month leading up to their EP release.
Space Queen has steadily increased their following by opening for Meatbodies, King Buffalo, Blackwater Holylight, Dopethrone, Cancer Bats, Hippie Death Cult, Mondo Drag, The Well, Acid Mother’s Temple, RIP, Spirit Mother, Spoon Benders, Hastronaut, Mos Generator and Black Mastiff. The band also hit multiple festival stages including Massif Music fest, Electric Highway, Tune It Down Turn It Up Festival, The Dream Roll, The California Avocado Festival, Noise Cult Festival, Rock ‘n’ Roll Pride, and Fallen Fest.
2023-2024 have been landmark years for the band: They released their sophomore record, Nebula, supported by extensive touring in western Canada, across-Canada (to Toronto to play NXNE), the U.S. west coast, and Southern California multiple times.
