Pyreship Announce Light is a Barrier out April 22
It’s been the better part of five years since Houston’s Pyreship released their debut album, The Liars Bend Low (discussed here), through Black Bow Records. Now a five-piece and having also done a split with Forming the Void in 2018 (discussed here), Pyreship will issue their second long-player, Light is a Barrier, on April 22. Like many, they’ve apparently been sitting on the release for some time, having finished the mixing about two years ago at the dawn of the new age. In our everybody-learns-the-Greek-alphabet future, it would seem the moment to release the five-song collection has arrived.
Fair enough. I was asked by PR a little bit ago if I’d host a stream for the album, but alas I just this morning found the email that had slipped through the oh-so-visible-these-days cracks in my competency. I said I was up for it, but haven’t heard back yet if I’m too late or not. If I am, serves me right; hazards of not being able to keep up. We’ll see [edit: maybe in March?]. In the meantime, I thought it was worth supporting by posting the news about the record, so you’ll find that below.
Of course, from the PR wire:
PYRESHIP To Release New Album ‘Light is a Barrier’
Post-metal sludge outfit PYRESHIP will release their new album Light Is A Barrier on April 22nd, 2022.
“This album has been in the works for over 3 years, and we are extremely excited to finally release it for you! Recorded live over a couple of days in August 2018 at Red Tree and vocals separately in February 2019 at Dead City (both sessions engineered by Chris Ryan), we finally had our friend Aidan Cunningham mix and master it right at the beginning of the pandemic, but it just didn’t feel like the right time to release it. Now is the time, Coming 04/22/2022!”
Leave all behind and embrace the imagination of PYRESHIP. There’s a stunning ambience that flows through Light Is A Barrier, which also blends with a sense of gravitas. PYRESHIP’s sound is both grounded on earth and soaring through the heavens. Despite the shadowy twists and turns, you’ll find yourself craving more.
Line-up:
Steve Smith-Drums
George Lusito-Bass
Jenny Jordan-Vocals
Sam Waters- Guitar/Vocals
Cru Jordan Jones-Guitar/Vocals
