Crypt Trip Announce Haze County out March 8; Stream New Song
Heavy Psych Sounds isn’t wasting any time getting preorders out there for those who want to reserve their copy early of Crypt Trip‘s Haze County, and that’s probably a good idea. Seems like the buzz around the album will be considerable, what with the quick turnaround the San Marcos, Texas, three-piece are making from their Rootstock LP, the time they put in on the road earlier this year alongside Cloud Catcher, the traditionalist spirit of their vibe generally, and what’s presumed to be an impending European tour — they’ve already been announced for Roadburn, and I’d think a stretch of touring is set to either follow or lead up to that performance; did I see something to that effect? am I making it up? — all that buzz feels well-enough justified. The first song from the album has been unveiled, and yeah, ain’t gonna argue against it.
March 8 is the release date, and I’d expect more to come, but as noted, the preorders are up now.
Here’s art and info from the PR wire:
Heavy Psych Sounds Records & Booking is really stoked to start the presale of the album *** CRYPT TRIP – Haze County ***
CRYPT TRIP return with their sophomore album “Haze County” this March 8th on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
CRYPT TRIP returns! Following their debut album “Rootstock”, the Texas trio once again deliver their typical country-tinged southern rock for your ears, mind, and soul. New album “Haze County” explores the intricacy of space and time through nine songs that can easily be defined as the band’s most focused and organic work to date.
CRYPT TRIP tell us more about this new taster: “As a first look into Haze County, we present to you “Wordshot”. There is deep history in Texas prog and psychedelic music that Crypt Trip is trying to carry on and this song is a shining example of that. Featuring Geoff Queen on pedal steel, we hope that you find it easy to drift away in the varying tones and emotions this track has to offer.”
Blending elements of hard rock, psychedelia and folk music, each track has something different to say. Loud Fender amps and a pounding rhythm section deliver enticing grooves on some tracks, while dreamy guitars take you away on others. Staying true to their Texas tradition, the album features special guest Geoff Queen on pedal steel, adding an entirely different color to the tonal palette.
“Haze County” was recorded and mixed by James Campbell at Cibolo Studios in San Antonio, Texas. It was mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terra Nova Digital Audio in Austin, Texas. High quality analog equipment was used at every stage of production for the best possible “vintage” sound.
“Haze County” will be issued on the following formats:
– 25 Test Press
– 250 LTD orange Fluo vinyl
– 500 Yellow Splatter vinyl
– Black vinyl
– CD and digital
