Ealdor Bealu Announce 10th Anniversary West Coast Tour
Are you waiting for word on the next Ealdor Bealu record? Fair enough, me too. This isn’t it. They’re not egregiously overdue for a follow-up to 2022’s Psychic Forms (review here), mind you, I’m just impatient. If you’d like a refresher as to why, “Be Ye Gone” from the album is cued up on that Bandcamp player at the bottom of this post. You need look no further.
To the business at hand: a tour. Be they going. Cool. The extra-neato twist is it’s the 10th anniversary of the band, which calls to mind how broadly their Western-tinged open-spaces heavy Americana has flourished, their songwriting growing more progressive each time out such that Psychic Forms was as much transcendent of genre as it was cherrypicking elements of different styles and influences. Good band? Yeah. And apparently they’ve been at it for a decade. Rock out.
I assume that’s the plan. They have a hometown show a couple nights before supporting Witch Ripper (who’ll be concurrently on the road; the bands meet up again in Seattle), and will be sharing the stage with a righteous assortment of others along the way on the tour-proper. Pretty sure the below came from social media, but if it was PR wire, don’t hold it against me. People start checking sources I could lose my license, get kicked out of the stoner bloggers union (Local 666 or something stupid like that), give up my fatcat salary, har har har on on on.
In all seriousness — for really real — heartfelt congratulations to Ealdor Bealu on not only making it a decade, but on the decade they had and the point to which it’s brought them as a band. Cool to look back on their growth over the last 10 years, but even more, I still can’t wait to find out where they’ll take their sound next. For now, that’s on the road:
