Mother Mars Set to Release On Lunar Highlands Dec. 6; New Song Streaming

Somewhere between impulses classic and cosmic, one finds Sydney-based four-piece belting out a heavy space blues rock as much given to analog-style boogie as it is to topping that boogie with some effects-heavy swirl. It’s been four years since their last long-play outing, Steam Machine Museum, saw release, and Pepper Shaker Records has locked in a Dec. 6 date for the forthcoming On Lunar Highlands, a thoroughly unmanageable 69-minute/11-tracker no less defined by the Hawkwindism of the 13-minute “Woodhollow Green” than by its plucked-banjo interludes “Bean Stalkin'” and “Bean Stalkin’ Again” or by the corresponding freakouts “The Working Mind of the Creator” and “The Heavy Hand of the Destroyer.” Yes, it gets weird. Also, it rocks. Seemingly at will.

The track streaming at the bottom of this post, “The Stalwarts of Saltwort Castle,” summarizes a portion of the overall scope in its nine-minute run, but yeah, even that doesn’t really capture everything. You kind of just need to make your way through the whole record to get the complete picture. One more time: Dec. 6.
