Italian heavy psych and blues rock trio Mr. Bison just confirmed an October 16th release for their upcoming album ‘Seaward’ on Subsound Records (Europe) and Ripple Music (USA). Listen to a first track and preorder the album now!
Leghorn/Pisa-based trio captivate by creating a unique and wild musical journey packed with psychedelia and virtuoso fuzz deliriums. Mr. Bison‘s two guitars together build a massive wall of sound through which listeners will likely never notice the absence of the bass guitar. Their new album ‘Seaward’ is arguably the most blazing, powerful and eclectic album to date. The LP was recorded by Matteo Barsacchi and mixed/mastered at the Audio Design Recordings by producer Jordan Andreen (Earthless, Sacri Monti).

The band gives a deep insight about their new record: “Curious to explore the world of progressive, and the vocal harmonic solutions of the Golden Era like Crosby Still & Nash, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, we decided to forge the new album ‘Seaward’. It’s a concept album that draws inspiration from the sea and from the legend of the 7 pearls of the Tyrrhenian Sea and as an imaginary horizon. It’s developed in 7 songs as a reference to the 7 pearls of the Tyrrhenian, narrating myths closely related to the sea, from the magic of the Sirens and the sacrifice of Andromeda to the heroic adventures of Ulysses and the ruthless curse of Scylla. 7 like Aphrodite’s pearls and the number of days in each moon phase, which affects the tides and the mood of each individual who, during magical moments of solitude and reflection, finds refuge in the horizon and in the wonderful echo of the vibrations of this majestic expanse of water.”
