The Electric Mud to Release Black Wool EP Sept. 25; Tour Dates & Track Posted
When Constantine Grim of Floridian heavy rockers The Electric Mud took the Obelisk Questionnaire, the non-musical thing he said he was looking forward to was the birth of his first daughter in July 2021. Good to know that amid the tumult and upending-of-life that is welcoming a new child into the family, he and the band have nonetheless found time to record a new EP, complete with C.O.C. and Allman Brothers, and to schedule a round of tour dates that will take them as far out as Wisconsin — provided they happen — this Fall. Hey, want to get out ahead of both that Delta Variant and that four-month sleep regression? Yeah, I get that for sure.
Congratulations though to Grim on what my wife and I still refer to as an “additional factor,” and to the band on the new release. The Electric Mud‘s 2020 album, Burn the Ships (review here), was on Small Stone and Kozmik Artifactz, but I believe the EP is independent, though I might be wrong there. In any case, it’ll be up through their Bandcamp, where there’s also the opening track streaming now (also at the bottom of this post).

THE ELECTRIC MUD: Florida Stoner/Retro Rock Unit To Release Black Wool EP September 25th, New Track Streaming + Tour Dates Announced
Florida-based stoner/retro rock unit THE ELECTRIC MUD returned to the studio earlier this year to record their brand new EP, Black Wool, now completed and confirmed for release on September 25th.
Captured at Farmadelica Sound in Bokeelia, Florida with tracking, mixing, and mastering done by Howard Wulkan, the EP represents a heavier and proggier turn for the band with a pair of new, original tracks as well as and an homage to the seedy, sordid Sunshine State bar circuit where they cut their teeth with covers of Corrosion Of Conformity and The Allman Brothers Band.
In advance of the release of Black Wool, today the band is streaming EP opener, “Ordinary Men,” noting of the track, “Opening the EP is ‘Ordinary Men,’ a rollicking slab of riffs and grooves that takes us through some of our heaviest and most intricate paces to date, alongside lyrics that implore the listener to make the most of the time they’re given.”
THE ELECTRIC MUD’s Black Wool will be released independently on CD and digitally. Find preorders at THIS LOCATION and additional merch options HERE: https://theelectricmudofficial.bandcamp.com/album/black-wool-ep
