Mud Spencer Sign to Argonauta Records; New Single Posted
The first single from Mud Spencer is two minutes long and it doesn’t take nearly that long to figure out why Argonauta Records would have immediately snapped up the newcomer band for a debut album release. Super-’60s garage rock strut meets with syrupy psychedelic flow in what essentially feels like a tone-teaser of things to come. Good things to come.
Argonauta is fairly relentless in bringing new acts on board, as I’m sure I don’t need to tell you if you keep up with the news around here on the semi-regular, but so many of them bring a different side of heavy to the roster, and the sense I get from the track “Razana” — which you can stream at the bottom of the post — is that Mud Spencer does the same, in this case heralding a swing that digs further back than others might dare and seems to cast an identity therein. I hope the vocals sound like Donovan, but I guess we’ll have to wait to find out. Also, I hope my man doesn’t actually mix with the motorcycle engine running.
The following came down the PR wire:
MUD SPENCER Signs To Argonauta Records!
The Italian underground powerhouse label Argonauta Records is known and loved for their extraordinary signings and eclectic artist roster in within the stoner, doom, sludge and heavy music scene, and today they welcomed another very special, and definitely unique act to the Argonauta family: Hailing from the Indonesia Java Island, psych doom and stoner boogie rock act MUD SPENCER has inked a worldwide deal with the record label!
MUD SPENCER ‘s prologue begins in 2017, when band visionary Rodolphe and drummer Eddie recorded a full-length album, “Left Empty”, in within 4 days under the band name of “Chiefing Cloves”. Eddie returned home to Texas, US, right after the recording sessions. As many drafts of song ideas were still there, Rodolphe decided to do it with the means at hand then, and created two virtual bands. One for high tempo early 60s sound inspiration, and one other, MUD SPENCER, for low tempo late 60s early 70s sound influences. The one-man-show is Rodolphe, playing all guitars, drums, organ, FX and other instruments. In 2019, he began the production of his upcoming debut, which will be released during 2022 with Argonauta. According to MUD SPENCER, it’s “made on ze bed music”. He records on his bed, and he mixes outside in the island‘s mountain while he just brings the ipad and headset on his trail motorcycle.
Give ear, as to celebrate their signing and upcoming collaboration, today MUD SPENCER and Argonauta Records have shared a first track taken from the upcoming debut.
Says label owner, Gero Lucisano:
“It’s not of every day we’re used to ink a deal with a very new band as MUD SPENCER is, though we’ve been immediatly surprised by his genuine attitude and approach as well as his killer yet comfortable sound, indeed useful for each kind of situation when played at the right volume. It’s surf/garage ’60, rock ’70 and fuzz, yes! A true psychedelic journey at all level.”
MUD SPENCER adds:
” I’m very excited and also curious to work with Argonauta Records and All Noir for the release of Mud Spencer first album!. Thanks for your helps in all its promotional and marketing efforts, thus, I should have more time to devote to tracks production, and with motivation..! “
Watch out for more news and album details of MUD SPENCER’s upcoming, special journey to follow in the months ahead!
