Litania Sign to Heavy Psych Sounds and Subsound Records; Debut Album Coming Soon
Formed just last year, Litania were already booked to appear as part of Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Switzerland next month alongside Brant Bjork, Twenty Two Toads, Duel, Dead Meadow and a slew of others, but I guess the label(s) couldn’t wait to make the announcement. Litania‘s signing is the probably not the first label-collab for Heavy Psych Sounds, who are working with Subsound Records on the release, but I can’t think of another off the top of my head, so I’ll call it ‘rare’ rather than ‘unheard of,’ to be safe.
There is no music yet. Not from the impending debut album the details from which will be revealed in two weeks, not a demo, not a live track — nuffin on the Bandcamp but the follow button and a logo. That’s where the part about getting together in 2024 comes into play. Still, I guess the record’s done because HPS is starting the promo cycle. August release? We’ll find out on June 12.
From social media:
