Chicago garage rock/krautrock/psych band Axis: Sova have released their new single “I’m A Ghost” alongside an accompanying video.
The track features on their forthcoming album ‘Blinded By Oblivon‘, produced by Ty Segall producing, due to be released on October 6 thtough God? Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The band recorded and mixed the album in 9 deeply productive days, with producer Ty’s relentless energy keeping them on pace, something akin to an artist retreat thanks in part to their beautiful surroundings. Morning swims in the Pacific Ocean served to reset the body and mind each day, providing enough charge and clarity to dive straight into the studio for another 11 hours. Says Brett Sova, “There is no doubt the songs took on some of that solar radiation and salty air as they were laid to tape – something unavailable to us had we recorded them in Chicago.” Indeed, the clash of industrial steel vs. indelible nature is sonically palpable, and much of the album hinges, and thrives, on tension.”
