Big Scenic Nowhere Set Jan. 31 Release for Vision Beyond Horizon; New Track Streaming

big scenic nowhere

Traveling is one of my very favorite things to do. As much as I ever let myself enjoy anything, ever, ever, ever, I enjoy going different places. It does require playing a bit of catchup when you get home though, and so here I am, catching up on news that came in at the end of last week, when I was in Norway. It was announced that Big Scenic Nowhere had signed to Heavy Psych Sounds in late September, so the unveiling of the album details and preorders for the project’s debut album, Vision Beyond Horizon, is right on time, as well as the stream of the opening track “The Glim,” which features vocals from Alain Johannes, also known for his many contributions over the years to Queens of the Stone Age.

Johannes is one of many lending their talents to the LP, along with members of The WellSpiritual Beggars, and Mondo Generator, while the core of the group remains as guitarists Bob Balch (Fu Manchu) and Gary Arce (Yawning Man) and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Tony Reed (Mos Generator). As well as actually hearing it, I’ll be keen to find out who actually does what and where on Vision Beyond Horizon among all the players included — listed below — but with Jan. 31 release date, there’s plenty of time for such things.

Desert rock supergroup BIG SCENIC NOWHERE announce debut album ‘Vision Beyond Horizon’ on Heavy Psych Sounds Records; stream first track with Alain Johannes now!

Desert rock supergroup BIG SCENIC NOWHERE (with members of Fu Manchu, Yawning Man, Mos Generator, The Well, plus Nick Oliveri, Alain Johannes and Per Wiberg) sign to Heavy Psych Sounds for the release of their highly awaited debut album ‘Visions Beyond Horizon’ on January 31st. Today, the band unveils their debut single ‘The Glim.’

“We are super excited to be working with Heavy Psych Sounds. We practically know everyone on the label already. When it comes to this style of music they have a big presence, and we feel fortunate to become part of that. This album is a collaborative effort and the sum of its parts. The basic riffs and song structures were done by myself and Gary Arce, but the contributions from Tony Reed, Lisa Alley, Ian Graham, Mario Lalli, Nick Oliveri, Bill Stinson, Per Wiberg and Alain Johannes make this record what it is. There was never a discussion of what kind of music we wanted to make. But if I had to describe it there are elements of Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, Yawning Man and Fu Manchu.” states guitarist Bob Balch (Fu Manchu).

Bob Balch adds: “The Glim is a result of Gary Arce and myself jamming in DAD’GAD. The first riff was an idea Gary had and then like three hours later while jamming, Gary played the chorus! I went home and put the pieces together and added a bridge part. Tony Reed on mellotron, Mario Lalli on bass and Bill Stinson on drums filled it out. Alain Johannes absolutely killed it on this one. He played all the leads too. This was the first track I recorded all of my guitars at my house. All Reverend guitars on my rhythm tracks. My signature on the left and a Pete Anderson hollow-body on the right. Signature ROLA head too. Killer tones all around! This tune has sort of a Soundgarden meets Bowie vibe to me. Hope y’all dig it !”

Vocalist Alain Johannes adds: “Total honor and pleasure to get on a sonic ghost ship with Bob, Gary, Mario and Bill on this track. Love these dudes and had a blast collaborating on “The Glim”. Big Scenic Nowhere rules!”
