New Mexico-based desert rockers, Blue Heron, will release their first full-length album, Ephemeral, via Seeing Red Records (US) and Kozmik Artifactz (Germany) on May 27. The album's first single, "Futurola", is now streaming on digital services, along with an interpretive animated video hosted by 666MrDoom. Watch the clip below.
Ephemeral is an 8-track, 47-minute exploration of heavy rock at its fullest. Excavating the far reaches and connected strata of stoner rock, sludge, doom, heavy psych and post-metal, Blue Heron transmute years of engagement with rock and metal's profuse branches into a singular, sand-scorching epic. With lyrical threads ranging from mortality and failed civilizations to mythic fables and cinematic re-imaginations, Ephemeral is stylistically diverse, thematically ambitious and unassailably relentless in its raw, desert power.
Ephemeral arrives May 27 on limited edition vinyl from Seeing Red Records in North America and Kozmik Artifactz in Europe and on all digital services. Pre-orders are available now via the labels and the Blue Heron Bandcamp, here.
Blue Heron is:
Mike Chavez - Guitar
Ricardo Sanchez - Drums
Steve Schmidlapp - Bass
Jadd Shickler - Vocals
