Volcanova Announce Cosmic Bullshit EP & Tour Dates with The Vintage Caravan; New Song Posted
Don’t front, you’ve got two minutes to check out something new today. I know everybody’s busy — hey, me too — but Iceland’s Volcanova aren’t asking the world with their new single “No Wheels,” and I’m underselling it by saying it’s worth the time it takes to listen. The three-piece made their debut last year with Radical Waves (review here) and hit the right marks in their classic stoner rock worship, and I don’t know much about anything, but when you call your next release Cosmic Bullshit, it’s safe to say you’re looking for some attention. It’s likewise probably safe to assume they’ll get some doing an 18-date stretch alongside countrymen frontrunners-of-form The Vintage Caravan.
After you take that entire two minutes to listen to “No Wheels,” should you want to dig back to Radical Waves before you’re subsumed in the forthcoming Cosmic Bullshit, you’ll find the Bandcamp player down at the bottom of the post.
Info came down the PR wire:
VOLCANOVA Release New Single “No Wheels” & Announce Tour with The Vintage Caravan
Icelandic stoner rock outfit Volcanova are back with their first new music since the band’s highly acclaimed 2020 debut album, ‘Radical Waves’. The trio has launched their new single, titled ”No Wheels”, on streaming services. A super-groovy, fuzz-rock explosion featuring Volcanova’s signature three-layer vocal harmonies, thick riffing, and spaced out lyrics. The new single is the first taste of the power-trio’s upcoming EP ‘Cosmic Bullshit’, which will see a 2022 release. In addition to the new single, Volcanova have also announced an 18-date European tour supporting The Vintage Caravan.
‘Radical Waves’ was finally celebrated successfully in October 2021 and played in its entirety, to a nearly sold out venue Húrra in Reykjavík, after countless cancellations due to Covid19. Volcanova has recorded their second album, an EP by the name of ‘Cosmic Bullshit’ consisting of 6 songs. The EP was recorded and mixed by Helgi Durhuus of Studio Helvíti in August and September 2021, mastered by Esben Willems of Studio Berserk and released via The Sign Records in early 2022.
Volcanova’s drummer Dagur Atlason on “No Wheels”:
“Doesn’t it feel good to cruise around and be free? Whether your ride is a crusty old camper van, an electric scooter or a skateboard, just you and the open road. But what if you didn’t have to depend on roads? What if your ride could take off, to anywhere you want? Because in this case, our ride has no wheels. Hoverboarding into outer space with nothing left to lose and only the groove as your sidekick.”
”No Wheels” is out now on all streaming platforms via The Sign Records.
