German psyched-out rock quartet Pavallion just announced a new album titled Stratospheria due out on Tonzonen Records in late October.
Today we have the first track Monolith out for premiere Everything Is Noise!
Everything Is Noise notes: "As I write this, it’s late over here in America. Stars adorn the sky above me, there’s a biting chill in the air as we enter autumn proper, and everything feels right. What better music to soundtrack a time like this than deliberate, spacey, and psyched-out rock? That’s precisely what Germany’s Pavallion have on deck for you and me. Returning with a new album on October 26 called Stratospheria, their atmospheric blend of post-rock, psychedelia, and a pinch of stoner is a delight.
Rattling riffs and echoing percussion starts off the track. It’s slow at first, but it quickly grows into a sweet groove that acts as the guiding line for this star tour of a song. Monotone, foreboding vocals punctuate the mysterious mood developed by the instrumentation and before you know it, you realize this journey may have more in store for you. I won’t spoil all of the fun; take a listen for yourself!"
Does music bend space and time? When a five minute song seems like a huge black hole while a 24-minute-epic rushes past in the blink of an eye, one can get the impression that it’s possible. Concerning Pavallion, time is relative anyway, as already shown on their debut album 2048. Following the minimalistic catchiness of their 2017 five track LP, these four guys from Krefeld, Germany, now present their second album Stratospheria.
It contains 3 atmospheric longtracks that slowly unfold into great epics – from the lone, soft echo in a vast openness to the dense, impenetrable wall of sound. Warm, hypnotic post-rock meets modern psychedelic, reminding some of us of the good old Pink Floyd sound. Close your eyes and be carried away seems to be the motto – both live and in front of the record player.
Stratospheria is already on pre-order and will be released on October 26th via the audiophile indie label Tonzonen Records. It will be available as a limited gatefold LP in the vinyl colours marbled yellow (150 copies) and marbled green- blue (350 copies), as Digipak CD as well as for download.
