Don’t let the delicate sound of Willow’s band name fool you – their upcoming LP “Nocturnal House” is set to be a driving collection of their latest math rock songs. Mixing heavy guitar lines and psychedelic effects, the band has claimed a dense and dark sound as their own, and will continue to The album will be the band’s second album, a follow up to 2012’s “Roanoke”. It’s a self-recorded work, and comes in the wake of the band’s tour with Victor Villarreal of Cap’n Jazz Owls. It was recorded at the band’s own studio, Distorted Forest.
“Pleasure Pallet” is the first pummeling single off the release, a sweeping five-minute song with cinematic guitar lines and a touch of distant, echoing vocals. It sets a deep, moody tone for the band’s forthcoming album, which will be released on Blanketfort Records December 11th. It can be preordered here, either digitally or on cassette.
