Get doomy with a song by Mythical Beast, a trio of Kansas City heavyweights.
Here's a track from Mythical Beast's upcoming debut album, Scales. All its tracks where recorded on vintage gear- a 1970s 2-inch MCI 24 track tape machine, and mixed on a 1980s DDA console, which, if you ask me, if a little anachronistic of them. 1980s? Please. This track is a slow burner straight outta 1971 or 72, that fateful cross section of time when both Sabbath and Zepelin released “Volume IV” albums.
While these Mythical Beasts are probably channeling something no-less mysterious then their forefathers of heavy, their witchcraft's certainly a lot closer to the rootsy sources of their doomy rock: Kansas City-based by way of Austin by way of New Orleans by way of Olympia.
Their new album came out earlier this month on the Language of Stone imprint of Drag City.
