Mos Generator Announce New Album Abyssinia Due in July

It’s been a hell of a couple years for Mos Generator, who have become as restless on the touring end as founder Tony Reed has been in his songwriting and studio work all along. The Port Orchard, Washington, heavy rock and rollers have swapped out two-thirds of their lineup since issuing Electric Mountain Majesty (review here) through Listenable Records in 2014, and been back and forth across the country multiple times, Reed, bassist Sean Booth and drummer Jon Garrett working quickly to hammer out a stage chemistry that one will listen for as their new album, Abyssinia, arrives in July.

They’ve already confirmed an appearance at the Maryland Doom Fest to support it, and I can’t imagine that will be their last road show. Also newly announced by the band is a Reed-recorded split with Seattle duo Year of the Cobra that finds both bands using 4-track tape. Not sure on the release date for that one, but presumably it will be out either before or after July (I guess it would have to be one or the other) as Mos Generator set about touring to support Abyssinia. The label confirmed the album thusly:

MOS GENERATOR have just finished mastering their brand new album entitled ‘Abyssinia’ which is scheduled for a July release.

The band’s hyper creative main man and writer of more than 1000 songs Tony Reed comments : “Abyssinia” is the continuation of an open relationship with many musical styles. This kind of exploration has always been a part of my writing but now I am letting the flood gates open and I’m welcoming all of my musical influences to flow through the songs. “Strangest Times” and “Red Canyons” are very typical MG style heavy rock songs but tunes like “Outlander“, which takes a lot from the soundtrack era Pink Floyd, or “Catspaw“, which sounds like something I would have written at age 20 under the influence of Husker Du and Voivod, move the band into a whole new area that I’m very excited to be moving towards.”
