Mars Red Sky’s Providence EP Available to Preorder
In addition to extensive tours of the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe between Feb. and March, Bordeaux trio have two releases planned for early 2016, and the first of them, a three-song EP called Providence, is available now for preorder ahead of a Jan. 28 issue via Listenable Records. They’ll follow that with their third full-length about a month later as they’re on the road, and there’s more road whathaveyou in the works for later in the year, but for today, let’s keep it to the preorder and the fact that, in addition to being the first new material to come from them after 2014’s stellar sophomore LP, Stranded in Arcadia (review here), Providence has the further distinction of featuring recordings from their special “Into the Mars Red Sound” show from 2014 on the track “Sapphire Vessel,” which is the band’s most experimental studio offering to-date and a harbinger of much expansiveness to come.
But, like I say, one thing at a time. Now, this:
