Lowdown
Ryte’s
debut album is basically the result of an intense one-and-a-half-year
writing process (late 2016 - early 2018), which was definitely fueled
by a very creative and communal spirit within the band. The album
consists of four long tracks which were constructed and developed
carefully over time. The flow came totally natural as every member
participated equally and contributed their very own personal
abilities. The album definitely pushes the boundaries of Psych rock
as it is influenced by countless styles of music including Doom, Prog
Rock, Jazz and even World Music.
The
sound is dominated by down-tuned, sometimes doomy, sometimes epic
twin guitars, dynamic and jazzy drums, distorted, playful basslines
and spacey Theremin landscapes. Even though vocals are rare they do
exist and are done either by Lukas or Arik, while the lyrics refer to
freaked-out sci-fi stuff. Production-wise Hannes himself took over
the project and recorded the LP at his own rehearsal space. Michael
Piller did the mixing and none other than the underground
producer-legend Tim Green mastered the album at Louder Studios in
California. Convince yourself and give it a listen! Out in January
2020 on Heavy Psych Sounds!

listen to this exclusive song premiere of SHAKING PYRAMID
The
band have stated the following about the song - "With
"Shaking Pyramid“, being the longest composition on the album,
we tried to catch a certain doomy atmosphere of the present,
interdimensionally connected to the past and future. With almost no
lyrics the track tells the story of ancient structures, evoked by
alien craftsmanship."
