Weedpecker to Release IV: The Stream of Forgotten Thoughts Dec. 3
What do we know about the next full-length from Weedpecker? As of today, the title and artwork, but that’s hardly all. We know, and have known for a while, to expect something different, as the follow-up to 2018’s III (discussed here) sees founding guitarist/vocalist Piotr Wyroslaw “Wyro” Dobry surrounded by a different band. Sure enough, the album boasts a marked shift in sonic intention and realization, and while it builds on what Weedpecker have done in the past, it finds its own clarity of approach to progressive heavy as well, distinct from what was even as it moves outward from it. You may recognize it as Weedpecker if you’ve heard the band in the past, but your definition of what that means will be expanded. Yes, I’ll openly admit to having heard this one.
Details as yet are pretty sparse — just the title and cover art, as noted above — but for those of end-of-year-list-making persuasions, you might want to do yourself a favor and hold a spot for a late entry.
Stickman Records sent the following down the PR wire in its newsletter:
Coming this December! Weedpecker – IV: The Stream Of Forgotten Thoughts
New album out December 3rd, 2021
We are happy to announce the forthcoming new full length by Weedpecker!
We find that the album’s trippy cover art (by Maciej Kamuda) perfectly reflects this record’s contents, which blew us away upon hearing the masters. Weedpecker has undergone a few fundamental lineup changes in recent years, with longtime bandmate and brother Bartek Dobry stepping out of the band and into a new engineer role for this album, and the result of this new incarnation is truly mindbending. We can’t wait for you all to hear this!
More details and music will be released in the coming months.
Weedpecker is:
Walczak (Tankograd, ex-Dopelord) – drums
Wyro – guitar/vox
Seru (BelzebonG) – keyboards
Domel (Major Kong) – bass
