Hey, Here Isn’t a New Dead Meadow Track!
I was all set to roll with this snarky and quite frankly dickheaded bit about how awesome this site is that it can just take embedding code from other sites and post the shit here too, but Spin‘s evil corporate security proved too much for me to handle. Buncha jerks.
Go there and hear the song and then come back here and read the PR wire whathaveyou about Dead Meadow‘s new album/film project, The Three Kings, out in March on Xemu Records:
The package consists of an album that stands alone with live material and five new studio songs produced by bassist Steve Kille including “That Old Temple” mixed by Dave Schiffman and mastered by Howie Weinberg. “Temple” is the first single and has an accompanying video. Dead Meadow have cradled the wide niche that resides between desert soaked ‘70s fuzz rock and sonically ambitious indie rock for over a decade. Members Kille, Jason Simon (vocals/guitar) and Stephen McCarty (drums) have released five studio albums, three of which were on Matador Records and two on Xemu Records. The Three Kings is a celebration of the band’s lyrical mythos and is directed by Artificial Army who in the past bent reality with videos for the likes of The Sword, Mars Volta and Coheed & Cambria.
The Three Kings will be released March 23rd on Xemu Records. The band has announced an upcoming, headlining US tour beginning this March. The band will be taking along good friend Imaad Wasif for the series of dates which will encompass nearly two full months from the kickoff date.
