LOCRIAN: New Album Streaming via Spin.com
East Coast Tour June 27-30
Return To Annihilation coming June 25th via Relapse
Esoteric, experimental artisan’s Locrian are currently streaming their entire forthcoming full-length Return To Annihilation via Spin.com at this location. Spin describes the album as a "an eclectic float down murky, noxious, sludgy waters" and compares the group to everyone from Boards of Canada to Sunn0))) to Neurosis.
Return To Annihilation was recorded by Greg Norman (Pelican, Russian, Circles, Serena Maneesh) at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago, IL and mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service. The album will be released as CD, 2xLP, and digital formats on June 25th in North America, June 21st in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, and Finland, and June 24th in the UK and rest of the world.
A two-part concept album inspired by the band’s love for prog-rock progenitors Genesis, Yes & King Crimson, Return To Annihilation is easily the group’s most ambitious recordings to date, dubbed by Pitchfork as both "excellent" and "risky", by Stereogum as "a corona of dream-pop and visceral shoegaze" and Outburn Magazine as "an excellent effort from one of the world's most creative, interesting, and uncompromising bands."
