Fans of grim, stoney music that drones on for days rejoice: Neurot Recordings has announced its 2008 release schedule. In addition to bands making their debut for the label (such as Guapo, whose latest album Elixirs is out now), there are also some familiar faces. Neurosis’s Steve Von Till will have a new solo album, A Grave Is a Grim Horse, out on May 19th, as will band mate Scott Kelly (pictured), whose sophomore solo effort The Wake is slated for a May 5th release.
Honestly, a lot of the Neurosis stuff puts me to sleep, but if the MP3s of Kelly and Von Till’s previous works are any indication, I’m really looking forward to their new solo albums. Really grainy, stripped down sort of singer/songwriter stuff. Check out Kelly’s “Flower” from Spirit Bound Flesh: MP3 or Von Till’s “This River” from Should I Fall to the Field: MP3
Full schedule (through June, anyway) after the jump as well as remaining West Coast tour dates for Neurot’s Red Sparrowes, who are on the road with the face-melting Russian Circles. (more…)
