Seattle indie rock/alt/shoegaze/psych band New Age Healers have unleashed their new single "Setting Sun".
This is the third single from their forthcoming album 'Demolition Stories' (out August of 2022). Grab it here.
Using the writing style of Elmore Leonard, Louis L’Amour, etc. as a device to create a short narrative inspired by the political insanity of the past 6-years, the band channels musical touchstones like Slint, Ride, DIIV, and Real Estate, to create a sonic landscape in which sounds express emotions when/where words cannot.
`I struggled with the words “setting” and “sun,” songwriter Owen Murphy says. “For a while it was “settling” and “son” as the hopelessness of politics had infused themselves into our music. Watching the offspring of a particular leader act either like a coked up lunatic, or a zombie, while also watching half the voting populace eat it up, really shook me. This song, it’s sound, it’s story, it’s delivery, are inspired by all of that under an umbrella of harmonic noise, reverb, distortion, and groove.”
