This is the second single by Psych Stoner Rockers Liquid Pennies from their upcoming 4th LP, and showcases their shift towards incorporating drum samples and synths along with the heavy psych rock foundation of drums, bass, and guitar.
The song was mixed and the drums were tracked by Ryan Boesch of Candor Recording, who has done albums for Melvins, Eels, Helmet, Whores, and Foo Fighters.
My review on Sight Skewer
Imagine if BARONESS played a more Heavy Psychedelic blend of Stoner Rock fused with Post-Punk. Prog Rock, Americana, Space Rock and Stadium Rock sensibilities and this would be the delightful result.
If ever a band oozes true CULT APPEAL then LIQUID PENNIES are that band. Sight Skewer is a work of art with the intricate melodies and progressive beats they fuse on this wholly cinematic spaced out journey of heavy far out sounds.
Pulling from psychedelic rock, post punk, prog, hardcore, folk, electronic, and a myriad of other genres, Liquid Pennies seek to find the concise in the abstract while keeping listeners on their tapping toes. Formed in St. Petersburg Florida in 2018 and comprised of Chas Binns (guitar/vocals/synth) Pierson Whicker (drums), and Tyson Mink (bass, synth) the band has continually redefined themselves with constant movement and musical malleability.
Floods, the band’s 2019 debut album, was self-produced utilizing a blend of analog tape and digital mediums.
Adding fourth member Zoë Turtle on violin and vocals the following year, "Secrets Dash" was produced and released independently in June 2020. March of 2021 saw the release of the sophomore full-length Distant Dawn, tracked and mixed during the 2nd half of 2020.
In 2022 they released the raw and upfront analog-recorded D.E. ep., followed by Any Wonder; an hour-long journey showcasing the band’s growth and progression that featured a myriad of guest musicians from the Tampa Bay area. 2023’s A Wake-Ending explored intricacies between the lines with a stripped-down yet technical approach the band honed in their high-octane live performances as a trio, and was followed by a supporting East Coast tour.
After a stint featuring the heavy psych rock pulse of dual drummers for the singles Doom Doubt and Name Dropper, their newest releases Ready Tide and Sight Skewer take a left turn, delving into the electronic synth-layered sounds foreshadowing their upcoming 4th album.
