Ecstatic Vision Announce European Tour
Ahead of releasing their new album, Elusive Mojo, on May 13, Ecstatic Vision announce a round of European touring to follow-up on prior festival confirmations. The Philadelphia-based band are nothing less than a righteous bee in the bonnet of stagnant psychedelia, ready and willing to blow minds out the airlock instead of impressing you with the obscurity of their own record collections. Their music wants nothing for nuance, but theirs is a psych for rejoicing, energetically delivered and engineered to be an unrepentant good time rather than something more cred-seeking and, often, staid. If you can keep up with them on their way, you’re doing awesome. Psych of body and much as mind.
The run starts at Heavy Psych Sounds Fest back to back nights in Switzerland and Austria, then continues from there through Hellfest and so on, capping at Red Smoke Fest in Poland. I note a couple empty dates circa Germany around the start of the tour, so there may be another announcement coming for that. Or maybe they’re just gonna hang out with Heavy Psych Sounds labelmates after the fests and live it up like that. Who knows?
From the PR wire:
ECSTATIC VISION Announces European Tour Dates!
New Album, “Elusive Mojo”, out this May on Heavy Psych Sounds Records!
Philadelphia’s psychedelic hard rockers ECSTATIC VISION have announced an extensive European tour kicking off this summer, with selected club shows as well as festival appearances at such as Hellfest, Heavy Psych Sounds Fest, Red Smoke and many more! The band will release their fourth studio album, Elusive Mojo, on May 13, 2022 through Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
Elusive Mojo finds ECSTATIC VISION firing on all cylinders with this unhinged, raw and dangerous new album. The band continues down their unique warpath mixing heavy psych rock, Detroit-rock, proto-punk, and world music. The album contains caveman grooves that would rattle the remaining teeth out of the Asheton brother’s skulls, scorching saxophones that would make Nik Turner feel high on a potent mix of speed and Viagra, and basslines hot enough to melt down the Lemmy statue.
Just recently the band shared a first album single, “March Of The Troglodytes/Elusive Mojo”! Listen to the track right here.
Their upcoming album, Elusive Mojo, was recorded live to 2” tape in Philadelphia by Joe Boldizar (Sonic Praise) with Bob Pantella (Monster Magnet), and was mastertered by Tim Green (Melvins). What emerged was a burly, timeless and unique sounding record that is hard to tell if it was recorded in 1971 or 2022. It will be out on May 13th in various Vinyl formats, CD and digital via powerhouse label Heavy Psych Sounds, the pre-sale is available at THIS LOCATION: https://www.heavypsychsounds.com/shop.htm#HPS228
