So what do we have to go on here? Not a ton. The existence of a band and a quick clip from Instagram that looks to be a test-press vinyl being played recorded by a phone. Mystery abounds. At least for another few days until, when Heavy Psych Sounds launches preorders for Kadabra‘s forthcoming debut album, a first song and presumably more details about said album will be made public. I haven’t heard any more than you have on this one, and since the band formed just last year with Garrett Zanol (Blackwater Prophet, Indian Goat) on guitar/vocals, Ian Nelson (The Ongoing Concept) on bass and Chase Howard (Skunktopus) on drums, there’s indeed not a lot out there. Few labels, however, have earned the kind of trust in recent years Heavy Psych Sounds has earned, and if they’re saying give ear to a new band, that’s notable. Here’s me noting it.

The PR wire had the preliminary announcement, heralding more next week:

Heavy Psych Sounds to announce a new band signing: KADABRA

We’re incredibly stoked and honored to announce that the US based heavy-psychedelic-fuzz band KADABRA is now a new member of the HPS family

Heavy Psych Sounds will release the band’s debut album this Fall

DEBUT ALBUM PRESALE + FIRST TRACK PREMIERE START: JUNE 15th

In 2020, a year wrecked with cultural dissent and a global pandemic, fellow musicians and long-time friends Garrett Zanol and Ian Nelson decided to create a band that would pull influence from a few of their favorite musical acts. After retaining the talents of their favorite local drummer Chase Howard, the group got to work on writing an album that illustrates their current climate.

Kadabra from Spokane, Washington U.S., delivers the eerie psyche crawl of acts like Dead Meadow and the heavy fuzzed riff grime of Black Sabbath. In fall the of 2020, they tracked their debut album with Dawson Scholz, and it is set to release this fall on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

KADABRA is:
Garrett Zanol (Vocals/Guitar)
Ian Nelson (Bass)
Chase Howard (Drums)
