Are you ready to head out into the wild and start a new life? It’s seriously one of the things I dream about; a lonely shelter somewhere in the rainforests of BC where I can spend my days surviving and my nights dancing naked under the moon. When I hit play on Crystal Spiders‘ new album Molt I was suddenly thrown into this fantasy, standing under the shadowy trees and smelling the sweet damp and decay of the mossy forest floor. Even though I’m looking out at my smoky East Van alley, I’m traveling to a place where I don’t have to witness the greed and ignorance of humanity. It’s the rumbling riffs that sound like they’re rising from the roots of some long-forgotten ancient tree and the wild and ethereal vocals that echo from somewhere in the heavens. I’m not gonna lie – it’s been a while since I listened to a doom record that made me move like this. Ripple Music is putting out this fantastic record on September 25th, and you can hit up the EU pre-order and US pre-order to pick up your copy now. And trust me, any fans of stripped-down, rock n’ rolling, psychedelic doom are going to be stoked on this record – you can listen to our full stream of Molt right here and now:
