MR.BISON Announce European Tour; Echoes From the Universe Out Today
All-caps Italian psychthrusters MR.BISON have announced a European tour supporting their new album, Echoes of the Universe. And I’ve got a slot saved for that record — which was announced here with a track premiere, as sometimes happens — in the next Quarterly Review, which kicks off in about a week, but it’s out today on Heavy Psych Sounds, and considering the spaces the four-piece traverse within its component songs, the richness of the flow they conjure and the classic-rooted-but-forward-looking mindset under which they seem to operate, basking in bright melodies and swinging groove set to evocative purpose and willing to dive into ethereal headspinning, as later cut “The Promise” demonstrates, without losing track of the audience’s place in the song, its ringing bells and softer accompanying guitar a sanctuary before the sweep of the next chorus.
If I keep going I’m just gonna review the thing — sometimes I need to stop myself, especially if I’m listening to an album as I am this one now; it’s just how my brain is trained to work at this point — so I’ll stop myself and say that it’s great MR.BISON are getting out to herald Echoes of the Universe because I think it’s a worthy cause. Note the open slot March 18 in Germany if you can help out, and that the actual tour picks up in March and spreads across April and May and into June — obviously there are breaks in there — with appearances set for Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Italy and Switzerland, as well as Maximum Festival and Space Goat Fest in Italy along with copious club shows.
June’s a ways out, so don’t be surprised if more shows are added around that trip to Switzerland as well. Especially after more people hear the record, which, again, is out today. If you’ve got ears to dig it, it’s at the bottom of this post.
