Bridge Farmers to Release Cosmic Trigger May 19
Austin, Texas, heavy psych rockers Bridge Farmers release their second album, Cosmic Trigger, May 19 on Olde Magick Records. The three-piece signed to the label early in February and have been dropping hints for a while on a follow-up to their 2018 self-titled debut (discussed here), which was brought to my attention last December in righteous check-this-out-you-dope fashion. Thankfully, I’ll add. But the unveiling of a solid release date is new, and one assumes that at some point between now and then, either they or Olde Magick or both will have preorders up and maybe even a song or two — should I ask to do a stream? probably — and so on with all that putting-out-a-record stuff.
But they posted the photo below of the record in-hand — an exciting mail day in the life of any band — and noted that although it’s been half a decade since their first full-length, they’re currently working on a third in the studio. Presumably that will be released sometime before 2028, but if you’d seek hints at what’s to come with Cosmic Trigger, look no further than 2020’s Live at the Electric Church (recall Duel also did a live record from the same venue), which captures their sound in raw but expansive fashion. That live outing was also recorded in 2018, so I don’t think any of the songs will be on the new record — all but “Frater Achad” appeared on Bridge Farmers, and that was released as part of a two-songer in 2016 — but it’s still an opportunity to dig deeper should you wish to do so ahead of Cosmic Trigger‘s arrival next month.
Here’s that post, dutifully hoisted from social media:
Whilst recording our 3rd album at the Cornpound in San Antone we got our grubby little fingers on our 2nd album ‘Cosmic Trigger,’ to be released on May 19th.
Release show details coming soon!
