Mental Tremors Self-Titled Vinyl Preorders Start this Friday
Upstart purveyor Cursed Tongue Records is set to begin LP preorders for the self-titled debut from Mental Tremors on Friday. Yes, as in the day after tomorrow. Heads up on this one, because whether you want the test pressing edition of 20 copies, the clear vinyl edition of 100 copies or the standard black platter pressing of 200 copies, it seems pretty fair to expect they’ll be gone, if not by the official Oct. 2 release date, then likely shortly thereafter. The Melbourne two-piece released the album earlier this Spring on their own digitally and have been garnering significant momentum since for the classic rolling fuzz of “Patient Man” and the thickened fuzz overload of “Violently,” and one doesn’t have to look far to see why Cursed Tongue would want to be on the case when it comes to getting behind a physical edition. Choice riffs deserve choice presentation.
So yeah, Friday. I’m pretty sure 1800 CET is noon Eastern US. Keep an eye out. If you’re a social media type, I’m sure you’ll see more about it there.
In the meantime, if you’re unfamiliar with the record, it’s streaming in full below for your perusal/convenience, and more info follows from Cursed Tongue via the PR wire:
CTR-004: Mental Tremors – ‘Mental Tremors’
Cursed Tongue Records is extremely happy to finally reveal that they have signed Mental Tremors for a release of their self titled debut album on high quality vinyl this fall.
Who needs a bass-player when you can have bottom heavy fuzz so thick it carves through stone? Sometimes less is more and especially in the case with hard hitting duo Mental Tremors that on their debut deliver deep grooves, fuzzy riffs for miles, sweet melodic licks and offer up a batch of solid rock songs that will have you rolling for a long time.
So fans of The Heavy Eyes, Telekinetic Yeti, Black Prism, KEEF MOUNTAIN, Lord Loud, Teacher, take notice…
Formed in early 2016, heavy psych duo Mental Tremors came together in the rock n roll hotpot of Melbourne, Australia. Hailing from musical backgrounds ranging from blues and metal, to punk and hardcore, the pair united over their mutual love of psych grooves and big bluesy riffs.
Writing and recording of their debut self titled album was completed by the end of 2016 and was released by March 2017, mere weeks after playing their first few shows. Shortly after the album was launched they were signed to the DIY puritans, Cursed Tongue Records, for a special vinyl release of their debut.
The second half of 2017 will see them releasing their vinyl debut, writing more songs, playing more shows and continue asking themselves, “how much noise can two people make?”
Official release date: October 2nd 2017. Preorders for Mental Tremors vinyl LP start September 1st at 6 PM CET (Central European Time, daylight saving on).
